Guvacine hydrochloride (Cat.No:I011918) is a hydrochloride salt form of guvacine, a natural alkaloid. It acts as a GABA receptor agonist and exhibits sedative and anxiolytic properties. Guvacine HCl has been investigated for its potential use in the management of anxiety disorders and as an adjuvant therapy for epilepsy.
