Drug introduction

Clonidine is a drug used to treat high blood pressure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-2-adrenoceptor agonists, which lower blood pressure by regulating the release of adrenaline. When treating ADHD, clondine can help increase concentration and reduce symptoms of hyperactivity. This medication is usually taken by mouth and used as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor's recommendations should be followed closely when starting or changing dosage. Some side effects may occur while using clondine, including dizziness, fatigue, and dry mouth. If you have serious side effects, such as a heartbeat that is too fast or too slow, you should seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, abrupt discontinuation of clondine should be avoided as withdrawal symptoms may occur. If you have any questions, you should consult your doctor promptly.

Dosage

Usage: Please take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, usually 2-3 times a day, each time it should be taken orally. Optionally take it with a meal to reduce stomach upset. High-fat or spicy foods should be avoided during use to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medicine. Also, avoid activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery.

Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 0.1 mg twice daily, which can be adjusted to 0.2 mg each time as needed. The maximum dose is 1.2 mg daily. For children, the dose is based on weight and age. The starting dose is usually lower and needs to be adjusted after evaluation by a physician. Please use the medicine strictly according to the doctor's advice and do not adjust the dosage or stop using it on your own. If you have any questions, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
