Why is Intuniv prescribed?

Intuniv (Guanfacine) is frequently prescribed for managing high blood pressure and treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

What does it do?

Intuniv reduces your heart rate and relaxes your blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure. The precise mechanism by which guanfacine treats attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not completely understood.

How should I take it?

Intuniv should be taken whole and not chewed, crushed, or broken. Avoid taking Intuniv with a high-fat meal. Do not adjust your Intuniv dose without consulting your doctor.

What if I missed a dose?

Take Intuniv as soon as you remember, but if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at once. If you miss more than two doses in a row, contact your doctor for further instructions.

What are the special precautions before taking Intuniv?

Intuniv is not approved for use in children under 6 years old.

Inform your doctor if you have a history of:

• Liver disease
• Kidney disease
• Heart rhythm disorders
• Heart attack or stroke
• Heart problems, including coronary artery disease (blocked arteries)
• High or low blood pressure

If you regularly take other medications that cause drowsiness, inform your doctor, as they may increase the sleepiness caused by Intuniv.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Certain medications should not be used together, as some can affect the blood levels of other drugs, potentially increasing side effects or reducing their effectiveness.

Taking Intuniv with other medications that cause drowsiness can intensify this effect. Before using opioid pain relievers, muscle relaxers, sleeping pills, or medications for depression, anxiety, or seizures, consult your doctor.
