About guanfacine

What is guanfacine?
Guanfacine is a non-stimulant medication in the class of alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonists. It is available in two forms: immediate-release tablets (brand name Tenex) and extended-release tablets (brand name Intuniv). The immediate-release form is primarily used for treating high blood pressure in adults, while the extended-release version is FDA-approved for managing ADHD symptoms in children and adolescents.

Guanfacine works by targeting specific receptors in the brain to help improve attention, reduce hyperactivity, and manage impulsive behavior. It is generally taken once daily, with or without food, and should be swallowed whole. Dosage and duration vary depending on the individual’s condition and how they respond to the treatment.

How to get a guanfacine online prescription

To request a guanfacine prescription through Klarity Health:

  • Book a virtual visit: Schedule an appointment with a licensed provider on Klarity’s platform.
  • Get evaluated: During the visit, the provider will assess your symptoms and review your medical history.
  • Prescription management: If guanfacine is determined to be appropriate, the provider may send a prescription to your pharmacy of choice.

How does guanfacine compare to other medications?

When evaluating treatments for ADHD or high blood pressure, comparing side effects, administration, and cost can help guide decisions.

MedicationUse CaseSide Effect RiskCost (Generic)Administration
GuanfacineADHD, HypertensionModerate (sedation, hypotension)LowOral (IR, ER)
ClonidineADHD, HypertensionHigh (sedation, hypotension)LowOral, Patch
Adderall (C-II)ADHDHigh (insomnia, appetite loss)HighOral (IR, XR)
Methylphenidate (C-II)ADHDHigh (insomnia, appetite loss)ModerateOral (IR, XR)

Guanfacine may be a good alternative for patients who experience side effects from stimulants or require a non-controlled option. Clonidine works similarly but may cause more sedation. Stimulants remain highly effective for many but carry higher risks.
