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 USP 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
decrease of peripheral resistance. During long-ter
