Should I take Qelbree morning or night?

According to the manufacturer, Qelbree (viloxazine) can be taken any time of day, but should be taken at the same time every day. Qelbree is an extended-release capsule that is taken once a day. It is a non-stimulant medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in people 6 years and older.

Like many medications, Qelbree works the best when taken consistently every day. Choose a time that you will remember to take your dose each day. Because Qelbree capsules can be opened and the contents sprinkled onto applesauce or pudding, you might want to give your child their dose each day at snack time. Qelbree should be consumed within 15 minutes after sprinkling it onto pudding or 2 hours for applesauce, but do not store it for future use.

Is it better to take Qelbree in the morning or night?

You can take Qelbree in the morning or at night, but there are some things to consider when choosing the best time to take your dose. Qelbree comes as an extended-release capsule, which means the medication releases slowly into your body over time after taking a dose. However, it might work better for some people when taking it in the morning versus at night. For others, a dose in the evening might work the best. Qelbree also has some side effects that may determine the best time for you to take it.

During clinical trials submitted to the FDA for approval, Qelbree caused drowsiness in up to 19% of children and 6% of adults. However, it also caused trouble sleeping in up to 5% of children and 23% of adults. Everyone who takes Qelbree will respond to the medication differently. If Qelbree is causing you to feel very tired during the day, try to take your dose at night. If a nighttime dose of Qelbree is making it hard to sleep, try changing your dose to the morning. Never take more than one dose of Qelbree per day.
