mk adversely

It is
not known precisely how Strattera reduces ADHD symptoms, but scientists
believe it works by blocking or slowing reabsorption of norepinephrine, a
chemical in the brain considered important in regulating attention,
impulsivity and activity levels.
Strattera should not be taken at the same time as, or within two weeks of
taking, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or by patients with narrow angle
glaucoma. Lilly undertakes no duty to update

The structure is sufficiently flexible to allow Shire to target new
therapeutic areas to the extent that opportunities arise through
