Frequently asked questions
Is Guanfacine Hcl Er (Intuniv) expensive if I don't have insurance?
Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $14.85 for Guanfacine Hcl Er with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.
Is Guanfacine Hcl Er (Intuniv) available through Cost Plus Drugs?
Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Guanfacine Hcl Er at roughly $0.050 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.
What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Guanfacine Hcl Er (Intuniv)?
We found Canadian pricing for Guanfacine Hcl Er starting near $3.77 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Guanfacine Hcl Er (Intuniv) priced differently in the US and Canada?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.
How does health insurance affect the cost of Guanfacine ER?
Most health insurance plans cover Guanfacine ER, typically resulting in a low copay. The exact amount you pay will depend on your specific plan's formulary and benefit structure. It can be helpful to ask your pharmacist to compare your insurance copay against the price available through a prescription savings program, as the latter may sometimes offer a lower out-of-pocket cost.
What is the brand-name version of Guanfacine ER?
The branded form of Guanfacine ER is Intuniv. However, the generic version is usually prescribed due to its lower cost.
Are there lower-cost alternatives to Guanfacine ER for ADHD?
Yes, several other non-stimulant medications for ADHD may be less expensive, including generic atomoxetine and generic clonidine ER. The antidepressant bupropion is also a lower-cost option, but its use for ADHD is off-label and benefits may be limited. Newer non-stimulants like Qelbree (viloxazine) are typically higher-priced. Various generic stimulant medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine formulations, are also available. The cost of these alternatives can often be reduced with prescription discount coupons. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before switching medications, as effectiveness and side effects can vary significantly.
