Initiate Treatment with Fenfluramine
Fenfluramine may reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity commonly present in autistic disorder and other developmental disorders. The potential changes in neurochemical regulation after long-term administration, which may represent neurotoxic effects, suggest that treatment with fenfluramine be recommended only after other treatments such as potent serotonin transporter inhibitors, stimulants, and sympatholytics have failed.
