Clonidine HCI Introduction

Clonidine belongs to the general class of medicines called antihypertensives. Clonidine is used to treat high blood pressure. High blood pressure adds to the work load of the heart and arteries. If Clonidine continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Hypertension may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled. Clonidine works by controlling nerve impulses along certain nerve pathways. As a result, Clonidine relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure.
