Understanding Intuniv:
Intuniv is once-daily guanfacine extended-release for pediatric ADHD. Non-stimulant alternative to amphetamines/methylphenidate — particularly useful in patients with stimulant intolerance, tics, anxiety, sleep problems, or with hyperactivity/impulsivity predominant features.
How Intuniv Works:
ADHD involves disrupted prefrontal cortex regulation of attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation.
Guanfacine is a selective alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonist — stimulates post-synaptic alpha-2A receptors in prefrontal cortex, strengthening prefrontal cortex function and improving attention/impulse control. The extended-release formulation provides 24-hour coverage from once-daily dosing.
Form and use:
Intuniv once daily by mouth, with or without food but consistently with regard to food. Avoid high-fat meals (increase absorption). Don’t crush, chew, or split tablets. Starting dose 1 mg/day; titrate weekly to target.
Generic availability:
Generic guanfacine extended-release widely available. Generic immediate-release guanfacine (older hypertension formulation) is dramatically cheaper but requires multiple daily doses. Other non-stimulant ADHD therapies: atomoxetine (Strattera, generic), clonidine ER (Kapvay, generic), viloxazine (Qelbree).
Warnings:
Intuniv warnings include hypotension, bradycardia, syncope (monitor BP, HR), somnolence/sedation, withdrawal syndrome with abrupt discontinuation (taper), drug interactions with CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers.
