Catapres: A far-reaching sign to Managing Hypertension
Catapres, or clonidine, is primarily used to treat high blood pressure by acting as an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, reducing nerve signals and heart rate to lower blood pressure. It’s also prescribed for ADHD, anxiety, and pain conditions due to its calming effects on the nervous system, and is used in opioid withdrawal management. Potential side effects include dry mouth and dizziness.
