NEW ZEALAND DATASHEET NAME OF MEDICINE DIXARIT ® Clonidine hydrochloride PRESENTATION Tablet: 25 mcg, blue, biconvex, sugar coated. _Note: _DIXARIT contains the same active ingredient as the antihypertensive agent CATAPRES, but in only one-sixth the quantity (25 micrograms compared with 150 micrograms). It follows that the two agents will not need to be used together in the same patient. USES ACTIONS DIXARIT is a centrally acting 2 -agonist. The central inhibiting effect on nor-adrenergic neurotransmission generally dominates the peripheral excitatory 2 -effect. In the prophylaxis of migraine, based on observations that vascular responsiveness is reduced after long-term administration of low doses of clonidine, a hypothesis of a peripheral mode of action has been put forward. The reduced responsiveness of the vessels to adrenergic stimuli due to clonidine possibly also plays a significant role in the reduction of menopausal hot flushes. Central as well as peripheral mode of action are discussed as affecting climateric complaints, e.g. reduced nor-adrenergic activity in the hypothalamus and changes in central hormone secretion. PHARMACOKINETICS Absorption and distribution The pharmacokinetics of clonidine is dose-proportional in the range of 75 - 300 mcg. Clonidine, the active ingredient of DIXARIT, is well absorbed and undergoes a minor first pass effect. Peak plasma concentrations are reached within 1 - 3 h after oral administration. The plasma protein binding is 30 - 40%. Clonidine is rapidly and extensively distributed into tissues and crosses the blood brain barrier, as well as th Διαβάστε το πλήρες έγγραφο
