guanfacine

Guanfacine is a medication primarily used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and high blood pressure. It works by targeting certain receptors in the brain and nervous system to help improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and lower blood pressure. Unlike some medications that act quickly, guanfacine has a gradual effect, often taking weeks to see full benefits. It can also help with sleep issues and manage withdrawal symptoms in some cases. As with any medication, it's important to use guanfacine under medical supervision to monitor effectiveness and side effects.
