Clonidine + Hydrochlorothiazide

Uses

Clonidine and Hydrochlorothiazide are used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

How it Works

How Clonidine and Hydrochlorothiazide work Clonidine and hydrochlorothiazide is a combination of two medications that effectively lower blood pressure. Clonidine is an alpha-2 agonist that works by relaxing blood vessels, making the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that lowers blood pressure by removing excess water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time, it also helps relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Clonidine and Hydrochlorothiazide include sedation, dry mouth, decreased potassium levels in the blood, increased uric acid levels in the blood, slow heart rate, increased blood lipid levels, glucose intolerance, electrolyte imbalance, and sexual dysfunction.
