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 work by acting on the central nervous system to lower blood pressure and improve attention problems.
In Hong Kong, clondine is commonly used to treat hypertension, especially in patients who have not responded well to other antihypertensive medications. In addition, it can also be used to treat ADHD, helping to improve concentration and impulse control.
When using clonstat, patients should strictly follow the doctor's advice and take the medication as directed. When starting or changing the dose, sudden discontinuation of the drug should be avoided to avoid adverse reactions. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and dry mouth, but most patients tolerate these side effects well.
If you have any questions or discomfort, patients should consult their doctor promptly.
Instructions:
Use the medicine as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. It is usually recommended to take it in divided doses daily, either on an empty stomach or with food. Do not stop using the medicine suddenly. If you need to stop taking the medicine, gradually reduce the dose. During use, avoid drinking alcohol or engaging in activities that require concentration.
Dosage Guidelines:
For the treatment of hypertension, the starting dose for adults is usually 0.1 mg twice daily, which can be adjusted based on individual circumstances, with a maximum dose of 1.2 mg daily. For children, dosage is based on weight and age, usually starting at a lower dose and gradually increasing. Be sure to use your medication exactly as directed by your doctor, and follow up regularly to adjust your dosage.

Pregnant women should avoid using Clonidine because this drug may cause danger to the fetus. Clonidine belongs to category C of the drug classification, which means animal studies have shown adverse effects on the fetus, but there is insufficient evidence from human studies. Using Clonidine during pregnancy may cause abnormal fetal development or other serious problems.
It is recommended that any expectant mother should tell her doctor about her medical conditions and medications she is taking before becoming pregnant. If you are using Clonidine and plan to become pregnant, discuss this with your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor may recommend stopping clonidine and finding an alternative treatment.
Remember, try to avoid using Clonidine during pregnancy to ensure the safety and health of your fetus. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to discuss them with your doctor for professional advice and help.
