This is a report on 4 largish studies, showing positive results for guanfacine XR in ADHD. The studies are in children and adolescents, but I'd imagine they are relevant to adults with cognitive difficulties as well.
I think the results reinforce the notion that guanfacine/Tenex can be a useful adjunct for depressive people who have cognitive problems. In any case, it's good to have this scientific confirmation for the common practice of prescribing guanfacine for ADD. I would imagine that these Phase III trials would mean that guanfacine XR will be formally approved for an ADHD indication.
Best,
