What is Intuniv (guanfacine ER) and what price do patients typically see?
Intuniv is the brand name for extended-release guanfacine, a prescription medication used for ADHD. Pricing can vary a lot by pharmacy, dosage strength, and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance.
How can I find the current Intuniv price at my pharmacy?
The most practical way to get an accurate “today” number is to check your pharmacy’s price for your exact dose (for example, 1 mg, 2 mg, 3 mg, or 4 mg) and the quantity (often a 30- or 90-day supply). If you share your dose strength and your location (state/country), I can help you narrow down what to look for.
Are there cheaper alternatives to Intuniv?
Depending on your insurance and eligibility, common options include:
- Switching to the generic version of guanfacine ER (when available and covered).
- Using a discount program (often available through pharmacy networks or manufacturer/third-party coupons, depending on the product status).
- Checking whether your insurer prefers a different formulation or requires prior authorization.
