Syncope in children with Tourette's syndrome treated with guanfacine

Allison King et al. Mov Disord. 2006 Mar.

Abstract

We report on 4 children who experienced a syncopal episode while being treated with guanfacine without any other evident cause. Syncope appears to be an uncommon side effect of guanfacine and is probably due to drug-induced hypotension or bradycardia.
