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.
