FDA Approves Non-Stimulant ADHD Drug:
The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first new drug in
three decades for treatment of the symptoms of attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Strattera (atomoxetine), marketed by Eli
Lilly and Company, is not defined as a stimulant under federal drug
laws, and appears to have no potential for abuse.
