Clonidine

Family Practice Physicians, Cardiologists, Internal Medicine Physicians, and other Medical Providers often prescribe PO Clonidine to their patients who are suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure). Clonidine belongs to a class of drugs (central alpha agonists) that acts to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. This action subsequently helps in the prevention of strokes, heart attacks, or kidney failure. Clonidine is available in 0.1mg tablet form.
