Indications & Clinical Uses

Guanfacine is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, often referred to as hypertension. It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Additionally, guanfacine may be prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to improve focus and impulse control. The extended-release formula ensures a steady release of the medication over time, which can help maintain consistent levels in the body.

Side Effects

Common effects of guanfacine may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. Some users might experience fatigue or constipation. These effects can vary from person to person and may diminish over time as the body adjusts to the medication.

Precautions & Warnings

Guanfacine should be handled with care, especially for individuals with certain medical conditions such as heart problems or low blood pressure. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Always store guanfacine in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Guanfacine may interact with other medications, including those used to treat high blood pressure, depression, or anxiety. Alcohol and certain over-the-counter medications can also interact with guanfacine, potentially increasing the risk of side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before starting guanfacine.
