Initial Treatment Dosing of children and adolescents up to 70 kg body weight —

STRATTERA should be initiated at a total daily dose of approximately 0.5 mg/ kg and increased after a minimum of 3 days to a target total daily dose of approximately 1.2 mg/ kg administered either as a single daily dose in the morning or as evenly divided doses in the morning and late afternoon/ early evening. No additional benefit has been demonstrated for doses higher than 1.2 mg/ kg/ day (see CLINICAL STUDIES).

There is no evidence available from controlled trials to indicate how long the patient with ADHD should be treated with STRATTERA. It is generally agreed, however, that pharmacological treatment of ADHD may be needed for extended periods. Nevertheless, the physician who elects to use STRATTERA for extended periods should periodically reevaluate the long-term usefulness of the drug for the individual patient.
