How it works
Clonidine works by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the brain, which leads to a reduction in the release of norepinephrine. This results in a decrease in sympathetic outflow, leading to a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate.
This medication also acts on the central nervous system to decrease the activity of certain nerve cells that are responsible for the initiation of the body’s “fight or flight” response. By calming these nerve cells, Clonidine can help reduce symptoms of anxiety, agitation, and stress.
- Stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors
- Reduces release of norepinephrine
- Decreases sympathetic outflow
- Lowers blood pressure and heart rate
- Calms nerve cells
Usage
