Uses

SIMTRIYO is indicated for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older weighing at least 20 kg. Limitations of Use The use of SIMTRIYO is not recommended in pediatric patients: Younger than 6 years of age because this pediatric subpopulation had a higher incidence of weight loss than pediatric patients 6 years of age and older. Weighing less than 20 kg because of a lack of data for this subpopulation and the risk of weight loss. SIMTRIYO is a norepinephrine-dopamine-serotonin reuptake inhibitor and central nervous system stimulant indicated for the treatment of ADHD in adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older weighing at least 20 kg.

How it works

Centanafadine has inhibitory activity at norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and serotonin (5-HT) reuptake transporters and is a central nervous system stimulant. The mechanism of action of centanafadine in the treatment of ADHD is unclear, however, its efficacy could be mediated through its activity as a norepinephrine-dopamine-serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
