Reboxetine for ADHD

Previous page Next page

Reboxetine is a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, as well as a weak serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

Trade names: Edronax (D, CH, A), Solcenx (D)

The active ingredient reboxetine is a noradrenergic drug which, according to individual reports, can be effective for ADHD. As an antidepressant, as it was actually intended to be, it was probably quite unsuccessful.

The updated European consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD (2018) names reboxetine as a possible alternative to atomoxetine for ADHD.1

There is evidence that reboxetine is effective for ADHD. However, there are only a few controlled studies. Reboxetine could be used primarily in adults without comorbidities.23

Reboxetine is not reimbursed by health insurance companies in Germany.
