Intuniv (guanfacine extended-release) is a prescription, non-stimulant medication designed to improve symptoms of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in children and adolescents. As a selective alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonist, Intuniv works by calming hyperactivity, reducing impulsiveness, and enhancing attention span—all without the side effects often associated with stimulant medications.
Unlike stimulant medications, Intuniv provides a steady, calming effect throughout the day. It’s especially beneficial for individuals who experience sleep issues, anxiety, or tics when using other ADHD treatments. Its extended-release formula allows for once-daily dosing, offering consistency in symptom management and better focus at school, work, or home.
Intuniv is FDA-approved for pediatric use and is often prescribed either alone or in combination with stimulants for a more balanced ADHD management approach. It has shown proven improvements in executive function and emotional regulation, making it an effective part of many ADHD treatment plans.
