Last time I posted about Guanfacine Extended Release for ADHD Many of you said it is available in India and to consult My  psychiatrist My situation: I go to a government hospital (can't afford private) Hospital is far and I don't have enough time to visit My question: Can I consult my Internal Medicine (MD) doctor for this? Can a medicine doctor prescribe Guanfacine ER? Can my medicine doctor make Guanfacine ER available? Please share your experience or guidance

Guanfacine ER for ADHD is usually started and monitored by a psychiatrist, as it requires proper assessment, dose titration, and follow-up for side effects like blood pressure changes and sedation. While an MD physician may be aware of the medication, initiating it specifically for ADHD without psychiatric evaluation is generally not recommended. It would be best to consult a psychiatrist at least once even at a government setup to confirm diagnosis and start treatment safely.
