Consider dosing on an mg/kg basis. Improvements were observed starting at doses of 0.05-0.08 mg/kg once daily. Doses up to 0.12 mg/kg once daily may provide additional benefits (2.2). When discontinuing, taper the dose in decrements of no more than 1 mg every 3 to 7 days. Which dr...

Consider dosing on a mg/kg basis. Improvements have been observed starting at dosages of 0.05 to 0.08 mg/kg once daily. Dosages up to 0.12 mg/kg once daily may provide additional benefit. Dosages above 4 mg/day haven't been studied. If switching from immediate-release guanfacine, ...
More frequent dosing of guanfacine may be required in patients receiving such concomitant therapy. (See Specific Drugs under Interactions.) Taper dosage of guanfacine when the drug is to be discontinued in patients receiving microsomal enzyme inducers; may avoid rebound hypertension or other symptoms.Sp...
The administration of guanfacine concomitantly with a known microsomal enzyme inducer (phenobarbital or phenytoin) to two patients with renal impairment reportedly resulted in significant reductions in elimination half-life and plasma concentration. In such cases, therefore, more frequent dosing may be requ...

(1) The company suggests that it has a unique mechanism of action in ADHD, providing improvement in core symptoms within 3 weeks with once-daily flexible dosing.(2) Here we review the evidence on the efficacy and safety of guanfacine in ADHD and consider whether it offers any advantages ...
For many adolescents, such dosing would exceed 4mg/day, the highest approved dose. This open-label multicenter study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and steady-state pharmacokinetics of guanfacine extended release at escalated forced doses ≤9mg/day in adolescents (N=31) aged 13–17 years ...
Though the precise mechanism of action of guanfacine in the treatment of ADHD is not fully understood, it is thought to act directly by enhancing noradrenaline functioning via 伪2A-adrenoceptors in the prefrontal cortex. Weight-adjusted doses should be used, with a dosing regime on a milligram ...
