Open-Label Study of the Long Term Tolerability and Safety of Atomoxetine in Children With FASD and ADD/ADHD

Abnormalities of attention, function, and activity level in children exposed to alcohol in
utero share similarities and differences to children who do not have alcohol exposure.
Previous psychological studies have examined either core attention deficit hyperactivity
(ADHD) symptoms of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity or hypothesized
neuropsychological differences in children with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and ADHD.
Atomoxetine Hydrochloride is a non-stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. This study will
determine if atomoxetine HCL significantly reduces symptoms of ADD/ADHD in children with
fetal alcohol exposure.

subtest or total score for children above 5 years of age.

- Patients will continue atomoxetine/placebo until entry nto this study.

- History and physical exam must reveal no clinically significant abnormalities that
would preclude safe participation in the study.
