Drug Details
Guanfacine ER (Intuniv) is a medication prescribed for the management of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children aged 6 to 17. It is an alternative to stimulant medications, as it is not classified as a stimulant or a controlled substance. The extended-release formulation, Intuniv ER, is specifically approved for treating ADHD and is typically taken once daily by mouth. The exact mechanism of how guanfacine ER works is not fully understood. However, it is believed to function as an alpha-2A agonist, potentially impacting certain brain receptors and reducing levels of norepinephrine to enhance attention, decrease distractibility, and improve impulse control. This can help alleviate symptoms of ADHD, such as hyperactivity, inattentiveness, impulsivity, and temper issues. Guanfacine ER is available in a generic form, making it a cost-effective option for treatment. Common side effects may include sleepiness and tiredness. It is important to discuss with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is appropriate for individual needs.
