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 is an alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist supplied as 0.1mg tablets for oral use. The medicine is used to treat high blood pressure, menopausal flushing and migraine prophylaxis. The originator is Boehringer Ingelheim; the medicine is also known as Catapres. Its active ingredient is clonidine.
It stimulates alpha-2 receptors in the brain, reducing nerve signals that raise heart rate and constrict blood vessels; onset is 30–60 minutes and effects last 6–8 hours. Treatment must not be stopped abruptly, because withdrawal can cause a steep rise in blood pressure, chest tightness, a racing heartbeat, headache, flushing and agitation (MedlinePlus). Clonidine is contraindicated in severe bradyarrhythmia. Bradycardia and arrhythmia need immediate medical attention. It interacts with beta-blockers, alcohol and sedatives, and may impair driving. It is not recommended in pregnancy unless necessary under specialist supervision, or while breastfeeding; elderly patients need caution.
