Guanfacine - Intuniv
For ADHD
The calming non-stimulant. Particularly good for hyperactivity, impulsivity and tics.
In brief…
Guanfacine (Intuniv) is an alpha-2A adrenergic receptor agonist - a completely different class of medication from both stimulants and atomoxetine. It’s particularly useful for patients where hyperactivity and impulsivity are the dominant symptoms (rather than inattention), where co-existing tic disorders need treatment alongside ADHD, and where oppositional or emotional dysregulation features are prominent. It has a calming, focusing effect and can improve sleep.

Have you been assessed for ADHD?
A full diagnostic assessment, in person at Westfield or by video, with your diagnosis and a written report. This is the one to choose if nobody has assessed you yet.
Your monthly review before the next prescription: how you are getting on, any change of dose, and your medication. Only for patients we have already assessed or taken over.
Already diagnosed and settled on treatment somewhere else. We confirm your diagnosis and your current dose, then continue your care, rather than assessing you all over again.
Your medication is priced separately, from £69.99 for this one, and dispensed and delivered by us.
