Guanfacine brand name?

What brand names does guanfacine come in?

Guanfacine is sold under different brand names depending on the formulation (immediate-release vs. extended-release) and the country.

In the United States, the most commonly referenced brand names are:
- Intuniv (extended-release guanfacine)
- Tenex (immediate-release guanfacine)

How do Intuniv and Tenex differ?

Intuniv is an extended-release version, designed to last longer with once-daily dosing. Tenex is the immediate-release version, typically dosed more than once per day.

Is there a generic guanfacine?

Yes. Guanfacine has generic versions, but the available brand name products (like Intuniv and Tenex) may vary by market and formulation.

Where can I check specific brand-name options for my country?

Brand names can differ by country and by whether the product is immediate-release or extended-release. Checking your local pharmacy listing or the national drug database in your region is the most reliable way to confirm current brand names.
