Clonidine is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. It is a centrally acting alpha-2 agonist that works by decreasing the amount of norepinephrine released from nerve endings in the brain. This reduces the heart rate and blood pressure, allowing the heart to work more efficiently. Clonidine is also used to treat symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and opioid withdrawal. It is available in both oral and transdermal forms. Clonidine is a widely used medication for cardiovascular conditions, and is often prescribed in combination with other drugs. It is generally well tolerated, with few side effects.
