Description

Clonidine (Catapres*) 100MCG tablets are a prescription medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Each tablet contains 100 micrograms of clonidine, a centrally acting alpha-agonist that works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing heart rate, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Key Features:

1. Blood Pressure Control: Catapres tablets are effective in lowering high blood pressure, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attacks and strokes.
2. Extended Release: The 100MCG tablets are formulated for extended release, providing sustained blood pressure control throughout the day with just one daily dose.
3. Off-Label Uses: In addition to hypertension, clonidine may also be prescribed off-label for conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), menopausal symptoms, and opioid withdrawal symptoms.
4. Individualized Dosage: Dosage may vary depending on individual patient response and medical condition, and should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Usage Instructions:

• Catapres 100MCG tablets are typically taken orally once daily, preferably in the morning or as directed by a doctor.
• The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, and can be taken with or without food.
• It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed the recommended amount unless instructed by a healthcare provider.
• Do not abruptly stop taking clonidine without consulting a doctor, as sudden discontinuation may lead to rebound hypertension or other withdrawal symptoms.

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor of any medical conditions you have, especially heart problems, kidney disease, or depression, as clonidine may exacerbate certain conditions.
• Avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants while taking Catapres, as they may increase drowsiness or dizziness.
• Use caution when operating machinery or driving, as clonidine may cause dizziness or drowsiness.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using clonidine, as its safety during pregnancy and lactation has not been established.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects of clonidine may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache.
• Less common side effects may include fatigue, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and changes in mood or mental alertness.
• Notify your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects, such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the hands or feet.
