Does Medicaid cover Guanfacine?

Many Medicaid plans cover Guanfacine, and it is often labeled as a preferred drug.

SingleCare coupons can be used instead of Medicaid if coverage is an obstacle or the copay for Guanfacine is still higher than the SingleCare coupon price.

What is the brand name of Guanfacine?

Guanfacine is currently only available as a generic drug. Guanfacine was formerly sold under the brand name Tenex. Several drug manufacturers make generic Guanfacine, including Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC and Apotex Corp.

What is Guanfacine?

Guanfacine is a prescription drug used to treat high blood pressure. Some brands of extended-release Guanfacine are used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Guanfacine is a member of the alpha2-adrenergic agonist drug class. They block the release and action of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine), which are released in response to stress. Centrally acting alpha2-adrenergic agonists slow the heartbeat and reduce its force, and relax blood vessels. All these actions lower 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 healthcare provider 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 healthcare provider about any risks associated with using Guanfacine as you breastfeed.

What are the side effects of Guanfacine?

Dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, tiredness, headache, and weakness may occur while taking Guanfacine. In rare cases, some people have reported lowered libido (sexual drive) as well. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist promptly.

Alarm your healthcare provider right away if you have any serious side effects, including severe dizziness, fast or slow heartbeat, fainting, mood changes such as depression, hallucinations, confusion, or thoughts of suicide.

This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may occur. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA.

Ways to save on Guanfacine

A reliable way to save money on Guanfacine is using a SingleCare discount card. Even though Guanfacine is a generic medication, costs may still be high.

Even further savings are possible by joining SingleCare’s loyalty program. 

There are other saving methods, including using Medicare Part D Extra Help, patient assistance programs, drug manufacturer coupons, and HSA/FSA to pay for prescriptions. But these methods are often not long-term savings solutions, and eligibility requirements can apply.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Guanfacine?

Clonidine is a common alternative that belongs to the same drug class and is available as a low-cost generic. Clonidine is similarly prescribed when additional blood pressure control is needed. 

It’s common for healthcare providers to prescribe combination drug therapy to treat high blood pressure using medications from different drug classes. Many regimens include preferred drugs from the classes of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), thiazide diuretics, or calcium channel blockers. These drug classes include many low-cost generic options such as lisinopril, losartan, hydrochlorothiazide, and amlodipine. There are conveniently made combination pills that combine hypertension medications into one convenient dose, such as lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine-benazepril. Combination pills may be more cost-effective.
