Consult with your physician before taking Strattera and tell them if you have any medical conditions, allergies, or if you are taking any other medications. Be sure to tell them if you have any of the following: coronary artery disease, liver disease, a history of stroke, blood clots, or heart attacks, a heart disease, a heart rhythm disorder or recent heart attack, problems with urination, a personal or family history of mental illness, psychotic disorder, bipolar illness, depression or suicide attempt, high or low blood pressure, or a congenital heart defect.
Strattera may cause suicidal thoughts or behaviour. Be aware of symptoms of depression, thoughts of hurting yourself, or unusual behaviour and let your doctor know if you experience these. It has not been determined if Strattera causes harm to an unborn baby. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or nursing. Strattera is not a long-term use medication. Do not use Strattera if you have used an MAO inhibitor within the past 14 days as this can result in life-threatening side effects.
