  • Medicine Name: Simtriyo

  • Dosage Form & Strength: Extended-release capsules: 140 mg, 210 mg, and 280 mg

Medical Uses

Simtriyo (centanafadine) is a norepinephrine-dopamine-serotonin reuptake inhibitor (NDSRI) and central nervous system (CNS) stimulant indicated for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults and pediatric patients 6 years of age and older weighing at least 20 kg.

ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development across home, school, and work settings. It is one of the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders in children and also affects a substantial number of adults, often continuing to impact organization, focus, mood, and executive functioning throughout adulthood.

Simtriyo (centanafadine) works by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, thereby increasing the availability of these neurotransmitters in brain pathways involved in attention and behavior regulation. It is the first and only approved norepinephrine-dopamine-serotonin reuptake inhibitor (NDSRI), introducing a novel treatment mechanism distinct from traditional stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD therapies.

Limitations of Use:
The use of Simtriyo (centanafadine) is not recommended in pediatric patients:

  • Younger than 6 years of age, as this subpopulation showed a higher incidence of weight loss compared with pediatric patients 6 years of age and older
  • Weighing less than 20 kg, due to a lack of clinical data in this subpopulation and the associated risk of weight loss

Simtriyo (centanafadine) is a prescription CNS stimulant and should only be used under the supervision of a qualified physician, psychiatrist, or pediatrician experienced in the diagnosis and management of ADHD.

Recommended Dosage:
Simtriyo (centanafadine) is administered orally once daily, with dosing individualized based on age, body weight, and clinical response, in line with the approved prescribing information.

  • Adults: Dosing typically follows a titration schedule up to the maintenance strength (commonly 210 mg or 280 mg once daily), as directed by the prescribing physician.
  • Pediatric patients (6 years and older, weighing at least 20 kg): Dosing is weight-based, with strength selected according to the patient’s body weight and titrated as clinically appropriate.

Patients and caregivers should not adjust the dose or discontinue therapy without consulting the treating physician. If a dose is missed, patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their prescribing doctor rather than doubling the next dose.

Warnings & Precautions

  • Simtriyo is a Schedule-controlled CNS stimulant with an associated potential for abuse and dependence. It should be prescribed and dispensed with appropriate caution, particularly in patients with a history of substance use disorder.
  • In pediatric patients, the most commonly reported adverse reactions included rash, decreased appetite, nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. In adults, the most common adverse reactions included headache, decreased appetite, insomnia, nausea, dry mouth, and diarrhea.
  • Patients and caregivers should monitor for signs of appetite suppression and unexpected weight loss, particularly in pediatric patients, and should inform the treating physician promptly if these occur. Growth (height and weight) should be monitored periodically in pediatric patients during long-term treatment, as advised by the physician.
  • As with other CNS stimulants, patients should be evaluated for pre-existing cardiovascular conditions before starting therapy, and blood pressure and heart rate should be monitored periodically during treatment. Simtriyo should be used with caution in patients with a history of psychiatric illness, including psychosis, mania, or significant mood disorders, as stimulant medicines may worsen these conditions.
  • There is limited data on the use of Simtriyo during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss the potential risks and benefits with their treating physician before starting or continuing treatment.
  • Before starting treatment with Centanafadine, patients should inform their healthcare provider about all other prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements they are taking, including other stimulants, antidepressants, or medicines affecting serotonin levels, to avoid potential drug interactions.

Is SIMTRIYO available in India?

SIMTRIYO (centanafadine capsules) is a prescription medicine that legally requires a doctor’s prescription to be dispensed. As of the current publicly available information, Simtriyo is not commercially marketed in India.

However, patients in India can legally access SIMTRIYO through the Named Patient Program (NPP) — an import provision that allows a medicine not yet registered in India to be imported in the name of an individual patient, on the prescription of their treating physician.

Indian Pharma Network (IPN) acts as a facilitator under named patient supply, providing input on:

  • Simtriyo price in India under the NPP route
  • Sourcing from genuine, reliable channels in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia
  • Ensuring full transparency throughout the process

Global Approval Status:

Simtriyo (centanafadine) received FDA approval on July 24, 2026, based on four Phase 3 clinical trials conducted in children, adolescents, and adults, which demonstrated statistically significant improvements in ADHD symptoms compared with placebo.

  • United States: The U.S. FDA approved Simtriyo (centanafadine) as the first-in-class norepinephrine-dopamine-serotonin reuptake inhibitor for the treatment of ADHD in adults and pediatric patients aged 6 years and older. The medicine is expected to require DEA scheduling before commercial launch in the United States.
  • Other Countries: As of the current publicly available information, Simtriyo has not yet received marketing approval in India. Approval status in Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Japan, and other countries may vary as regulatory reviews continue. Patients should consult local regulatory authorities or healthcare providers regarding country-specific availability.

The approval was supported by four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating centanafadine’s efficacy and safety in children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD. The Phase 3 program included two trials in adults, one in adolescents, and one in children, along with post hoc analyses that showed improvements in patient-reported executive function and emotional regulation. Centanafadine represents Otsuka’s next major CNS launch, expanding its portfolio in a large and historically underserved ADHD market.

Centanafadine was discovered and developed by Otsuka Pharmaceutical. Continued global availability and additional country-specific approvals are expected to be confirmed as regulatory submissions progress in other markets.

Note: Approval and marketing status vary by country. As of the current publicly available information, Simtriyo is not approved or commercially marketed in India.
