What is Intuniv

Intuniv is a prescription medication that contains guanfacine and is commonly used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. It works by affecting certain receptors in the brain to help improve attention, reduce impulsive behavior, and support better focus throughout the day.

Intuniv is an extended-release medication prescribed for the management of ADHD symptoms. Unlike stimulant medications, it works in a different way to help control hyperactivity, improve concentration, and promote calm behavior. Intuniv should be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

How to use Intuniv

This should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is usually taken once daily, either in the morning or evening, with or without food. The extended-release tablet should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed, chewed, or broken, as this may affect how the medication works. Patients should follow the prescribed dosage carefully and avoid suddenly stopping the medication without medical advice. Regular monitoring may be recommended to check blood pressure, heart rate, and overall treatment progress while using  for ADHD management.
