Used primarily in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), this compound helps improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and decrease hyperactivity in both children and adults. It functions as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, enhancing neurotransmitter activity in the brain regions responsible for attention and behavior control. Unlike stimulant medications, it is not a controlled substance, making it a preferred option for patients with a history of substance abuse. It is often prescribed when stimulants are ineffective or poorly tolerated. The therapeutic effects typically become noticeable within a few weeks of consistent use.
