Clonidine hydrochloride, USP is a centrally acting alpha-agonist
hypotensive agent
available as tablets for oral administration in three dosage

mg, 0.2 mg and 0.3 mg. The 0.1 mg tablet is equivalent to 0.087 mg of

dichlorophenylamino)-2-imidazoline
hydrochloride. The following is the structural formula:

substance soluble in

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Clonidine stimulates alpha-adrenoreceptors in the
brain stem. This action results in reduced sympathetic outflow from
the central nervous
system and in decreases in peripheral resistance, renal vascular
resistance, heart rate,
and blood pressure. Clonidine hydrochloride tablets act relatively
rapidly. The patient's
blood pressure declines within 30 to 60 minutes after an oral dose,
the maximum
decrease occurring within 2 to 4 hours. Renal blood flow and
glomerular filtration rate remain essentially unchanged. Normal
postural reflexes are
intact; therefore, orthostatic symptoms are mild and infrequent.
Acute studies with clonidine hydrochloride in humans have demonstrated
a moderate
reduction (15% to 20%) of cardiac output in the supine position with
no change in the
peripheral resistance: at a 45' tilt there is a smaller reduction in
cardiac output and a
