Patient Information
Tablet
Patients who engage in potentially hazardous activities, such as operating machinery or driving, should be advised
of a potential sedative effect of clonidine. Patients should be cautioned against interruption of clonidine
hydrochloride therapy without a physician's advice.
Epidural Injection
Patients should be instructed about the risks of rebound hypertension and warned not to discontinue clonidine
except under the supervision of a physician. Patients should notify their physician immediately if clonidine
administration is inadvertently interrupted for any reason. Patients who engage in potentially hazardous activities,
such as operating machinery or driving, should be advised of the potential sedative and hypotensive effects of
epidural clonidine. They should also be informed that sedative effects may be increased by CNS-depressing drugs such
as alcohol and barbiturates, and that hypotensive effects may be increased by opiates.
