QELBREE

What is this medication? Qelbree is a prescription medication used for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD. It is approved for use in both children aged six and older as well as in adults. Unlike many other common treatments for this condition, Qelbree is a non-stimulant medication. It belongs to a class of drugs called selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, which work by increasing the levels of certain natural substances in the brain that help manage focus and impulse control.

This medication is typically taken once daily in the form of an extended-release capsule. Because it is not a controlled substance, it does not carry the same potential for abuse or dependence as many stimulant-based ADHD treatments. Healthcare providers often prescribe it to help patients reduce symptoms such as hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsiveness. It is important for patients and caregivers to monitor for any changes in mood or behavior while using this drug, as is standard with many medications that affect the central nervous system.
