Is 0.1 mg of clonidine as effective as 1 mg of intuniv?
No, 0.1 mg of clonidine is not as effective as 1 mg of Intuniv. Intuniv (guanfacine) is a different medication from clonidine, and the doses cannot be directly compared as they have different mechanisms of action and potencies. It is essential to follow the prescribed dose and recommendations from your healthcare provider for optimal treatment.

Intuniv is packaged as a time-released medication. That means the tablet must be intact, or the entire 24 hours worth of meds will dissolve very quickly -- you'll get a large dose of the meds right away, followed by 23 hours of no meds.
As with all time-released meds, you should not cut, chew, or crush an Intuniv tablet.
