ADVERSE REACTIONS STRATTERA was administered to 2067 children or adolescent patients with ADHD and 270 adults with ADHD in clinical studies. During the ADHD clinical trials, 169 patients were treated for longer than 1 year and 526 patients were treated for over 6 months. The data in the following tables and text cannot be used to predict the incidence of side effects in the course of usual medical practice where patient characteristics and other factors differ from those that prevailed in the clinical trials. Similarly, the cited frequencies cannot be compared with data obtained from other clinical investigations involving different treatments, uses, or investigators. The cited data provide the prescribing physician with some basis for estimating the relative contribution of drug and non-drug factors to the adverse event incidence in the population studied. Child and Adolescent Clinical Trials Reasons for discontinuation of treatment due to adverse events in child and adolescent clinical trials ? In acute child and adolescent placebo-controlled trials, 3.5% (15/ 427) of atomoxetine subjects and 1.4% (4/ 294) placebo subjects discontinued for adverse events. For all studies, (including open-label and long-term studies), 5% of extensive metabolizer (EM) patients and 7% of poor metabolizer (PM) patients discontinued because of an adverse event. Among STRATTERA-treated patients, aggression (0.5%, N= 2); irritability (0.5%, N= 2); somnolence (0.5%, N= 2); and vomiting (0.5%, N= 2) were the reasons for discontinuation reported by more than 1 patient.
