Guanfacine other names?

What other names does guanfacine go by?

Guanfacine is also sold under brand names and can appear listed by different “generic/brand” labels depending on the country and the specific formulation (immediate-release vs. extended-release).

Common brand names include:
- Tenex (immediate-release)
- Intuniv (extended-release)

Does the form of guanfacine change the name you’ll see?

Yes. You’ll often see different brand names for different release forms:
- Immediate-release guanfacine: often listed as Tenex
- Extended-release guanfacine: often listed as Intuniv

If you tell me your country (or what the label says), I can match the exact alternate name(s) you’re likely to see.

Are there other generic “synonyms” besides brand names?

In most prescribing and pharmacy contexts, “other names” for guanfacine usually mean brand names (Tenex, Intuniv). It may also be referenced by its chemical name, but the active ingredient is the same: guanfacine.
