Viloxazine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that has a long history of clinical use in Europe as an antidepressant. An immediate-release formulation was approved for the treatment of depression in the UK in 1974, and was subsequently marketed there and in several European countries for 30 years with no major safety concerns. In April of 2021, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of viloxazine (QELBREE), developed by Supernus Pharmaceuticals, for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in pediatric and adult patients. Approval was based on positive results from a series of short-term phase III clinical trials in which viloxazine improved the severity of ADHD symptoms in children and adolescents with diagnosed ADHD. Viloxazine is available as extended-release capsules for once-daily oral administration.
