What is Guanfacine?

Guanfacine is a prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure. Some brands of Guanfacine are used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Guanfacine is a member of the antiadrenergic agents' drug class. Centrally acting antiadrenergic agents inhibit the stimulation of the central nervous system alpha-adrenergic receptors and decrease sympathetic stimulation to the blood vessels and the heart. They block the release and action of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine), which are released in response to stress. Centrally acting antiadrenergic agents make the heartbeat slower and with less force, and relax the blood vessels. All these actions lead to a decrease in your blood pressure. Inform your healthcare provider if you have or have ever had heart problems, coronary artery disease (clogged arteries), a heart rhythm disorder, a heart attack or stroke, high or low blood pressure, liver disease, or kidney disease before using this prescription medication. It is not known whether Guanfacine will harm an unborn baby so tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Additionally, It may not be safe to breastfeed a baby while you are using this medicine. Ask your doctor about any risks associated with using Guanfacine as you breastfeed.
