147 Guanfacine
Monday, 10 August, 2026
Episode 147 – Guanfacine Welcome to the second in a little duo of episodes on oral alpha 2 agonists. In last week's episode (146), I spoke about clonidine, and this week, I'll be talking about guanfacine, comparing and contrasting the 2 for you in terms of use and indications. Guanfacine is a really useful psychopharmacological agent that is probably less commonly used than clonidine at this time, but I'm hoping this episode will give you a little more confidence to consider it for your patients. Here's what I think you, as professionals, need to know about this medication. Here's what you'll learn: · Indications for and uses of guanfacine as a daily adjunctive medication in Veterinary Behaviour Medicine. · Why guanfacine might be a good choice for hyper-aroused, hyper-active and hyper-vigilant patients. · When guanfacine might be a better choice than clonidine. · Potential drug interactions and contraindications. This is a bit of a whistlestop tour into guanfacine, but if you'd like to dive even deeper, I've got you covered – My PSYCHOACTIVE course contains everything you need to know: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/psychoactive And here is the link to my monthly membership – The Behaviour Case Collective – which I also mention in this episode: https://katrin-jahn.mykajabi.com/behaviour-case-collective If you liked this episode of the show, Veterinary Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!
