Guanfacine er intuniv?

What is Intuniv, and is it guanfacine ER?

Intuniv is a brand-name form of extended-release (ER) guanfacine. It is sold as guanfacine extended-release tablets, meaning the drug is formulated to release more slowly over time rather than all at once.

How does “ER” change how guanfacine works?

“ER” (extended-release) means the tablet is designed to maintain steadier drug levels for longer, which can improve symptom control over the day compared with immediate-release forms.

What is Intuniv used for?

Intuniv (guanfacine ER) is used for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including in children and adolescents (and sometimes other age groups depending on the country and prescribing guidance).

Is Intuniv the same as immediate-release guanfacine?

No. Intuniv specifically refers to guanfacine in an extended-release formulation. Immediate-release guanfacine is a different product with different dosing and release characteristics.
