Priapismo asociado con el uso de atomoxetina
Abstract:
We describe the case of a 33-year-old man who was treated with atomoxetine for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. During follow-up, the patient reported intermittent priapism as a side effect of this medication. It was decided to discontinue atomoxetine, after which the painful erections resolved spontaneously. The literature includes several cases describing atomoxetine-induced priapism in children and adolescents. This case, in which an adult male experienced priapism as a side effect of atomoxetine, highlights the importance of being vigilant for this potential complication when prescribing the drug, including in adult patients.
