norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor [NRI]
NRI (norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) medicines are non-stimulant antidepressants. Doctors can use them to treat excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy.
NRIs include:
- Atomoxetine (such as Attera, Attentin, Axepta, Axetra, Stramox, Strattera, and Tomoxetin)
- Reboxetine (such as Davedex, Edronax, Irenor, Norebox, Prolift, Solvex, Yeluoshu, and Zuolexin)
These are sometimes called selective NRIs, but they aren’t SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors).
