Icon: Capsule In Food

The recommended starting dose for children 6-11 years old is 100 mg once daily, and 200 mg once daily for those 12-17 years old. Your child’s doctor may gradually increase their dose over 1-3 weeks until they reach the dose that’s right for them. This process is called titration.

The maximum recommended dosage for children 6-17 years old is 400 mg once daily.

Two ways to take Qelbree

The Qelbree capsule can be swallowed whole, or the capsule can be opened and its entire contents sprinkled onto a spoonful of applesauce or pudding.† Do not cut, crush, or chew the capsules.

Qelbree is the only non-stimulant ADHD treatment that can be sprinkled on food for easier dosing for patients who are unable to swallow capsules.

†Once added to the applesauce, Qelbree should be all consumed, without chewing, within two hours. Once added to pudding, Qelbree should be all consumed, without chewing, within 15 minutes. Do not store for future use.
