Patient summary
Intended to relieve high blood pressure, this medication functions to mitigate symptomatic episodes of nervous system hyperactivity and support cardiovascular stability.
Mechanism of action
It functions by stimulating alpha-2 receptors in the brain, which suppresses the release of nerve signals that increase heart rate and tighten blood vessels. This action lowers blood pressure and has a calming effect on the nervous system.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Not recommended unless necessary under specialist supervision. Breastfeeding: Excreted in breast milk; not recommended.
Clonidine lowers blood pressure by slowing the heart rate and relaxing the blood vessels. It is used for high blood pressure, and at low doses for menopausal flushing and to prevent migraine. It comes as 0.1 mg tablets; the original brand is Catapres.
Do not stop taking clonidine without talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly can cause a rapid rise in blood pressure, with a fast heartbeat, nervousness, headache, flushing and chest tightness (MedlinePlus).
