I have 2 round, white pills which have 93 on one side and 7240 on the other. I'm not sure what they are but I know that there has been 3 or 4 kids that have spent the night with ADHD (my son also has ADHD).

Is stattera used for ADHD ? Is it the same as hypercon 10? ## Hi Lorelle, Yes, Strattera (Atomoxetine) is in fact used for the treatment of ADHD. And based on my research, Hypercon 10 is said to contain the same active ingredient (Atomoxetine); so both drugs 'should' act in the same manner. Apparently, Hypercon 10 is manufactured in India by a company called Consern Pharma. However, I don't know anything about the legitimacy or efficacy of their products, since foreign medications aren't as strictly regulated as they are here in the US. There are loads of counterfeit drugs out there, so I do wonder if you ordered this medication from a reputable pharmacy? You can learn more about this drug on the page for Atomoxetine Details Has anyone else tried these tablets? ## Does s...

I am not sure what to do. My 12 year old son takes adderal once a day for his ADHD for many years now. 2 years ago moved here and the clinic he goes to the office staff is very rude. So i went to another doc. but they will not see him till his records are transferred. As soon as the doc. got the transfer request they called and cancelled his appointment with no explanation. (No surprise to me). He needs these meds for school, without them there is a very noticeable difference. They run out on the 26th of Feb. so i have been skipping weekends in hopes to have plenty for school. I am not sure what to do. I know the doc. has 30 days to transfer files, and than i have to make an appointment with the new doc. which could take time to get in. Normally if my son doesn't have the meds for t...
