Intuniv generic name?

What is the generic name for Intuniv?

Intuniv’s generic name is guanfacine extended-release (also written as guanfacine ER). [1]

Why do people see different wording for the “generic”?

“Intuniv” is the brand. The generic is described by its active ingredient and formulation—guanfacine in an extended-release form—so you may see it listed as guanfacine ER or guanfacine extended-release instead of a separate single-word generic name. [1]

What drug is Intuniv most commonly confused with?

Because Intuniv is guanfacine ER, it can be confused with other ADHD medications that sound similar but are different active ingredients (for example, stimulants or other non-stimulant options). The key point is that Intuniv specifically uses guanfacine extended-release. [1]
