Clonidine Tablets
Clonidine tablets are used to lower high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart. This medication works by acting on the brain to decrease nerve signals that tighten blood vessels, helping blood flow more easily. It is often prescribed when other blood pressure medicines are not enough or as part of a combination therapy.

Clonidine Tablets Medication Description
Clonidine tablets are a prescription medication used to manage high blood pressure, a condition that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Unlike many blood pressure drugs that act directly on the heart or blood vessels, clonidine works in the brain by stimulating alpha-2 receptors, which reduces nerve signals that cause blood vessels to tighten. This leads to lower blood pressure and decreased strain on the heart. Because of its unique mechanism, clonidine is often used when other medications do not provide adequate control or as part of a multi-drug regimen. Clonidine is usually taken twice daily, but patients should follow their doctor’s instructions carefully. Abruptly stopping clonidine can cause rebound hypertension, which may be severe, so any dose changes should be gradual and under medical supervision. Clonidine can cause sedation and dry mouth, so patients should be aware of these effects and avoid activities requiring alertness until they know how the medication affects them. -
Clonidine Tablets Side Effects
Common side effects of clonidine include dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation, and fatigue. Some patients may experience dizziness or low blood pressure, especially when standing up quickly. Serious but less common effects include slow heart rate, severe low blood pressure, and rebound hypertension if the medication is stopped suddenly. Patients should report symptoms such as fainting, chest pain, or irregular heartbeat immediately. Regular monitoring and gradual dose adjustments help reduce these risks. -
