Does your child have ADHD? ADHD affects more than 6 million U.S. children. About 30% of people with ADHD do not respond or cannot tolerate stimulant medications. And there are times that management would require behavioral modification therapy. ADHD can significantly impact a child’s quality of life. It can also be a challenge for parents and teachers to manage. 

If there is a safe and effective non-stimulant medication, it will provide an alternative therapy for millions of kids and teens who suffer from ADHD. This is why Qualmedica Research, LLC is doing a study that focuses on ADHD treatment. This research study seeks to understand the effectiveness of a non-stimulant medication that may help treat and manage ADHD among children and adolescents who have been unresponsive to or cannot tolerate stimulant medications.
