Abstract
To the Editor: Atomoxetine is a potent inhibitor of the presynaptic norepinephrine transporter (NET) and has minimal affinity for other neurotransmitter transporters and neuronal receptors. As per currently available evidence, atomoxetine has demonstrated efficacy in improving attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children with comorbid tics and has also significantly improved comorbid tic symptoms.1 Hence, it has been considered as an appropriate choice in patients with ADHD and comorbid tics, or with a history of possible medication-induced tics. However, here have been a few reports of atomoxetine-induced tics2–5 when used in children with ADHD.
