🇬🇧 English

The FDA has determined that Strattera (atomoxetine hydrochloride) capsules in strengths of 5 mg, 10 mg, 18 mg, 25 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, 80 mg, and 100 mg were not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This decision follows Eli Lilly's discontinuation notice in August 2025 and a citizen petition from Rosemont Pharmaceuticals. As a result, the FDA will keep the product in the Discontinued section of the Orange Book and will not initiate withdrawal of any existing ANDAs referencing this NDA. Additional generic applications may continue to be approved if they meet all regulatory requirements. The drug remains indicated for the treatment of ADHD.
