Apo-Guanfacine XR 1 mg

APO-Guanfacine XR 1 mg is an extended-release tablet containing guanfacine hydrochloride, used to manage certain conditions. This medication is designed for oral administration and is manufactured by Apotex Inc. in Canada.

Guanfacine is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure. For ADHD, guanfacine may help improve focus and impulse control. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine if this medication is suitable for your needs.

Common effects of guanfacine may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. Some users might experience fatigue or constipation. These effects can vary from person to person and may subside as the body adjusts to the medication.

Guanfacine should be handled with care, especially for individuals with certain medical conditions such as heart problems or low blood pressure. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Avoid sudden discontinuation without medical advice.

Guanfacine may interact with other medications, including those used to treat high blood pressure, depression, or anxiety. Alcohol and certain supplements can also affect its efficacy. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
