Guanfacine Tablets In Pakistan
Guanfacine tablets are a prescription medication used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and, in some cases, high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, which work by affecting receptors in the brain to improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and promote calmness.
What are Guanfacine Tablets?
Guanfacine is available in both immediate-release and extended-release formulations. The extended-release version is commonly prescribed for ADHD, particularly in children and adolescents, while the immediate-release form may be used to manage hypertension.
How It Works
Guanfacine works by stimulating alpha-2A receptors in the brain, which helps strengthen working memory, enhance attention, and reduce nerve signals that contribute to hyperactivity. It also relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
