Atomoxetine, sold under the brand name Strattera, among others, is a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It may be used alone or along with stimulants. Use of atomoxetine is only recommended for those who are at least six years old. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects of atomoxetine include abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, feeling tired, and dizziness. Serious side effects may include angioedema, liver problems, stroke, psychosis, heart problems, suicide, and aggression. Its safety for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not yet certain. Atomoxetine is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and is believed to work by increasing norepinephrine and dopamine levels in the brain.

Atomoxetine was approved for medical use in the United States in 2002. A month's supply in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about £53 as of 2019. In the United States, the wholesale cost of this amount is about US$77. In 2017, it was the 199th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than two million prescriptions.
