What Clonidine Is And How It Affects The Body

As mentioned above, clonidine is an antihypertensive agent that acts at the level of neurohumoral regulation of vascular tone. Prolonged use of clonidine results in reduced myocardial hypertrophy and improved left ventricular function. Clonidine has a sedative and analgesic effect. Due to its central action, it can eliminate somato-vegetative manifestations of opiate and alcohol withdrawal and lower intraocular pressure by reducing secretion and improving outflow of aqueous humour from the eye. The drug begins to act within 30 minutes of ingestion, the maximum effect is reached within 1-2 hours and the action lasts for 8-12 hours.

Posology and Administration of Clonidine

The tablets should be taken orally with plenty of water, regardless of meals.

Consult your doctor before starting treatment. Doses different from those recommended below may be necessary.

For hypertension, a starting dose of 0.075 mg 2-3 times a day is usually prescribed. If the hypotensive effect is not sufficient, the single dose is increased every 2-3 days by 0.0375 mg up to 0.15-0.3 mg per dose 3 times daily.

During treatment with clonidine, blood pressure should be monitored regularly and alcohol intake is strictly prohibited.

Abrupt discontinuation of Sloidin may cause withdrawal syndrome, so the daily dose should be gradually reduced before discontinuation.
