  • Submit documents

    We will request documents to be submitted by you and your healthcare provider that are required by the pharmaceutical company to complete your enrollment.

Am I eligible for Intuniv patient assistance?

We review each Intuniv enrollment application individually to determine if you are eligible. Each assistance program has its own eligibility criteria and the factors considered by most programs are:

  • I am a permanent, legal resident of the United States or Puerto Rico
  • I am uninsured or my insurance doesn’t cover my medication
  • I meet certain income eligibility requirements

How do I apply for the Intuniv patient assistance program?

Our process makes it as easy as possible to apply for the Intuniv patient assistance program. Begin by completing the enrollment application form on our website. Tell us about any medications that you are taking, including Intuniv, your healthcare provider, your insurance plan, and your household income. This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who will supply the medication, so it is important to make sure this information is accurate and up to date.

We will review the information that you have provided to determine whether you are eligible for patient assistance. If we can pre-qualify you for assistance, NiceRx will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. If you are approved by the pharmaceutical company, you will typically start receiving your medication in 6 – 8 weeks.

Is NiceRx an Intuniv coupons provider?

NiceRx is not an Intuniv coupon, Intuniv discount card, or Intuniv copay card provider. We do not offer Intuniv manufacturer coupons, Intuniv discounts, rebates, Intuniv savings cards, trial offers, or free Intuniv samples. We are a service provider that helps eligible individuals access their medication directly from the U.S. pharmaceutical company.

Can NiceRx help me if I have insurance?

NiceRx may be able to help you if:

  • You have a high copay or coinsurance responsibility for Intuniv
  • Your insurance company will not pay for your Intuniv prescription
  • Your healthcare plan does not cover your medication
  • You do not have insurance

What is Intuniv?

Intuniv is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Shire Pharmaceuticals. Intuniv is a central alpha2A-adrenergic receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) as monotherapy and as adjunctive therapy to stimulant medications for adolescents and children 6-12 years of age. Guanfacine may help reduce ADHD symptoms such as being disruptive, hyperactivity, being impulsive, or losing your temper.

Immediate-release guanfacine is not used to treat ADHD. The Tenex brand of guanfacine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and is sometimes given with other blood pressure medications.

What doses of Intuniv are available?

Intuniv is available as an extended-release tablet, in the following doses: 1 mg, 2 mg, 3 mg, and 4 mg.

Take Intuniv once daily in the morning or evening by mouth. Swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablets. Do not take Intuniv with a high-fat meal as this may increase the amount of drug you absorb, causing increased side effects.

Do not switch between different forms of this medication as different forms may not provide the same amount of guanfacine and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Intuniv active ingredients

The active ingredient of Intuniv is guanfacine hydrochloride.

Intuniv side effects

The most common side effects of Intuniv in clinical trials compared to placebo include:

  • Somnolence, tiredness, drowsiness
  • Nausea, abdominal pain, stomach pain, constipation

  • Dizziness, dry mouth

In rare instances, Intuniv can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

  • Chest pain
  • Seizures
  • Loss of strength
  • Need to urinate frequently
  • Itchy skin
  • High blood pressure
  • Sedation and somnolence

Your doctor will assess the benefits of using Intuniv against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Intuniv to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Intuniv drug interactions

Intuniv can interact with other medications. These include:

  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors – ketoconazole
  • Strong CYP3A4 inducers – rifampin
  • CNS depressants including alcohol, barbiturates, antihistamines, or other sedatives

This list is not exhaustive and other prescription drugs may interact with Intuniv. Tell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines you take, including prescription drugs and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Intuniv contraindications

You should not use Intuniv if you:

  • Are allergic to the active ingredient guanfacine hydrochloride
  • Are allergic to any of the other ingredients in Intuniv

Talk to your doctor about your medical conditions before using Intuniv if you:

  • Are taking any of the medications that could interact with Intuniv
  • Have a hepatic or renal impairment
  • Have a history of bradycardia, cardiovascular disease, heart block, hypotension, and syncope
  • Are taking antihypertensives to reduce high blood pressure – measure your heart rate and blood pressure before starting treatment, any dose increases, and periodically while on therapy
  • Are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant
  • Are breastfeeding or are planning to breastfeed
