Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Usual Adult Dose for Hypertension Initial dose: 1 mg orally once a day at bedtime; may increase to 2 mg once a day if satisfactory result not achieved after 3 to 4 weeks. Usual Pediatric Dose for Attention Deficit Disorder 6 YEARS TO LESS THAN 18 YEARS: Initial dose: 1 mg orally once a day, either in the morning or evening, at approximately the same time each day; may adjust in increments of no more than 1 mg/week. Recommended target dose: 0.05 to 0.12 mg/kg/day (total daily dose between 1 and 7 mg) once a day, depending on clinical response and tolerability Maximum dose: 6 to 12 years: Doses above 4 mg/day have not been evaluated; 13 to 17 years: Doses above 7 mg/day have not been evaluated.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Guanfacine and clonidine at relatively high concentrations (10(-6)-10(-4) M) produced contractions of the rat vas deferens which were antagonized by prazosin.
