Apo Clonidine How to Take

Clonidine belongs to the group of medications called antihypertensives or vascular stabilizers. It is used alone or in combination with thiazide diuretics (e.g., Hydrochlorothiazide) to treat high blood pressure. It is usually tried when other types of blood pressure medications are ineffective or cannot be used. Apo Clonidine works by widening the blood vessels, which increases blood flow and lowers blood pressure.

Clonidine can also be used to relieve menopausal hot flashes when hormone replacement therapy is not needed or not desired. For hot flashes, clonidine works by helping reduce the response of the blood vessels to stimuli that cause them to narrow and widen.

Apo Clonidine may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Apo Clonidine may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Apo Clonidine may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Apo Clonidine for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Apo Clonidine, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Apo Clonidine without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Apo Clonidine to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Apo Clonidine if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Apo Clonidine Precautions

There may be an interaction between clonidine and any of the following:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,
  • change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Apo Clonidine. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications that you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Apo Clonidine Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Apo Clonidine.

Depression: Apo Clonidine can cause symptoms of depression. If you have a history of depression, discuss with your doctor how Apo Clonidine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Apo Clonidine, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you experience symptoms of depression such as poor concentration, changes in weight, changes in sleep, or decreased interest in activities, or notice them in a family member who is taking Apo Clonidine, contact your doctor as soon as possible.

Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Clonidine can cause drowsiness and dizziness and may affect the ability of your eyes to change focus quickly between distance and close up. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other potentially hazardous tasks until you have determined how you are affected by Apo Clonidine.

Eyes: Apo Clonidine may affect the eye. People taking clonidine should receive periodic eye examinations. Apo Clonidine can cause decreased tear production, and contact lenses may become uncomfortable to wear.

Heart or blood vessel disease: Clonidine lowers blood pressure, which can cause worsening of heart conditions that are affected by decreased blood flow. If you have severe heart or blood vessel disease, have recently had a Heart Attack or Stroke, or a slow heart rate, discuss with your doctor how Apo Clonidine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Apo Clonidine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Kidney function: Kidney Disease or decreased kidney function can cause Apo Clonidine to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have reduced kidney function, discuss with your doctor how Apo Clonidine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Apo Clonidine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Lactose: Apo Clonidine may contain lactose. If you have galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption, you should not take Apo Clonidine without talking to your doctor.

Other medical conditions: If you have polyneuropathy or constipation, discuss with your doctor how Apo Clonidine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Apo Clonidine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Raynaud's disease: If you have Raynaud's disease, discuss with your doctor how Apo Clonidine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Apo Clonidine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Surgery: If you are having any type of surgery, make sure that the doctors involved in your care are aware that you are taking Apo Clonidine.

Withdrawal: Don't stop taking Apo Clonidine without talking to your doctor. A severe withdrawal reaction may develop within 12 to 48 hours when clonidine is stopped suddenly. This reaction includes a rapid rise in blood pressure and symptoms such as nervousness, agitation, restlessness, pounding heartbeat, nausea, and headache. When stopping clonidine therapy, your doctor will instruct you to reduce the dose gradually over 2 to 4 days to avoid this reaction. A withdrawal reaction is most likely to occur in people who have been receiving large doses of clonidine or who are taking another type of blood pressure medication called a beta-blocker (e.g., Atenolol, Metoprolol, Bisoprolol) at the same time.

Pregnancy: When taken during pregnancy, clonidine crosses the placenta and may cause the developing baby’s heart rate to slow.

Apo Clonidine should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Apo Clonidine, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Apo Clonidine passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking clonidine, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding. Apo Clonidine is not recommended for women who are breast-feeding.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of using Apo Clonidine have not been established for children.
