Description

Clonidine 25 micrograms is a centrally acting medicine that works on specific receptors in the brain to reduce nerve signals that increase blood pressure and heart rate. By calming these signals, Clonidine helps lower blood pressure and can also reduce symptoms such as hot flushes, restlessness, and agitation.

At the 25 microgram strength, Clonidine is often used as a starting dose or for dose titration, particularly in sensitive patients or children. It may be prescribed for hypertension, menopausal symptoms, ADHD, sleep disturbances, or pain management, depending on individual clinical needs.

Clonidine tablets are taken orally and are available only with a valid prescription following clinical assessment.
