Guanfacine is a medication used to treat hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. It is a selective alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonist, which works by decreasing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. Guanfacine is also used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. It works by increasing the amount of norepinephrine in the brain, which helps to improve focus and reduce impulsivity. Guanfacine is available in both generic and brand-name formulations. It is typically taken orally, either as a tablet or an extended-release tablet. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. The market for guanfacine is growing as more people are being diagnosed with hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. It is also becoming increasingly popular as a treatment for ADHD in children and adolescents. Some companies in the guanfacine market include Mylan, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Sun Pharmaceuticals.
