Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Guanfacine acts in the brain. It decreases certain nerve signals from the brain to the blood vessels and the heart. This causes the blood vessels to relax so that blood can flow more easily and also slows the heart rate. These effects help to lower blood pressure.

| Add Kapvay review My child i2 13 and may have taken a double dose. What should we do My son is 12 years old. He is Autistic, ODD, ADHD and Bi-polar. This medication was suppose to treat the impulsive rage that he has. It helped at first, but after the second week, it stopped working. My doctor just decided to change drugs due to how intense my son's 'freak out' moments were getting. The drug did work very well at first. It was the first time in a long time that we went a FULL 2 days with NO drama!!! That was a welcomed blessing from above! Did not help with my dd focus, concentration, and impulsivity. It did work on her hyperness..but mellowed her too much...also this medicine was very expensive when you are taking 2mg am and pm as prescribed. DD had upper respiratory infections, sore throats and legtharic proper dose. | Add Tenex review would like to know if this medication can be broke in half even though there is not a score line in it? my son is taking the 1mg po BID My little girl has Autism,Sensory processing disorder, and ADHD.I was so worried about her taking a medication. She has been on Tenex for a little over a week.WOW! Such a great difference!. She went from having 4~ 20 minute meltdowns everyday to mabey 3 small ones since she has started taking it...We have a pharmacy in town that made a special compound liquid form so all we have to do is put it her juice twice a day! She is so happy and mellow...Her poor brain was always racing....Now she is just chill.... My daughters doctor put her on this medication when her other medication was not working.The dr said to give her a half of a pill for morning and half for noon for the first week. The first day she was breathing hard and very loud and sleeping when she was not sleeping she was very winy. The second day same thing but worse. I called her doctor and they have not called me back will not be giving this to my child anymore. | |||
