How much does guanfacine 2 mg cost (and what affects the price)?
The price of guanfacine 2 mg varies mainly by:
- Brand vs. generic (generic is usually much cheaper)
- Formulation (for example, immediate-release vs. extended-release can differ in price)
- Package size (30 vs. 60 vs. 90 tablets can change the per-tablet cost)
- Pharmacy and location (cash price vs. insurance copay)
- Whether you’re paying retail, using a discount card, or using insurance
Because “guanfacine 2 mg” can refer to different marketed products and strengths by formulation, the exact price depends on the specific product name on the bottle.
What product should I check to get the right guanfacine 2 mg price?
To look up the correct price, match the prescription label exactly, including:
- Product name (brand name if applicable)
- Dosage form (extended-release vs. immediate-release)
- Strength (2 mg)
- Quantity (count of tablets/capsules in the bottle)
If you share the brand name and whether it’s extended-release or immediate-release, I can help narrow down what to search for and what pricing to expect.

What’s a quick way to estimate today’s cash price?
For the most practical “price today” figure, the fastest approach is:
- Check the pharmacy listing using your exact product (brand + ER/IR) and tablet count.
- Compare that to generic pricing at a different chain or mail-order pharmacy.
- If you don’t have insurance, compare a discount card price versus cash price.
If you tell me your country (or ZIP code) and the exact product name (IR vs ER), I can help you pinpoint the most likely price range you’ll see.
