CLONIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE - CLONIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE TABLET
STATE OF FLORIDA DOH CENTRAL PHARMACY
----------
DESCRIPTION
Clonidine hydrochloride is a centrally acting alpha-agonist
hypotensive agent available as tablets for
oral administration in three dosage strengths: 0.1 mg, 0.2 mg and 0.3
mg. The 0.1 mg tablet is equivalent
to 0.087 mg of the free base.
Clonidine hydrochloride is an imidazoline derivative and exists as a
mesomeric compound. The
chemical name is 2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-2- imidazoline
hydrochloride. The following is the
structural formula:
C H CL
N • HCL M.W. 266.56
Clonidine hydrochloride is an odorless, bitter, white, crystalline
substance soluble in water and
alcohol.
Each tablet for oral administration contains ammonium chloride,
colloidal silicon dioxide,
croscarmellose sodium (Type A), magnesium stearate, microcrystalline
cellulose, sodium lauryl
sulfate.
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
acts 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 term
therapy, cardiac output tends to return to control values, while
peripheral resistance remains decreased.
Slowing of the pulse rate has been observed in most patients given
clonidine, but the drug does not alter
norma
