What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Catapres Overview
Catapres is used alone or with other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Clonidine belongs to a class of drugs (central alpha agonists) that act in the brain to lower blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.
How to Use Catapres
Take Catapres by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily (in the morning and at bedtime). If the doses are not equal, take the larger dose at bedtime to decrease the risk of side effects. The Dosage of Catapres is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use Catapres regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. Keep taking Catapres even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. Do not stop taking Catapres without consulting your doctor. You may experience symptoms such as nervousness, agitation, shaking, and headache. A rapid rise in blood pressure may also occur if the drug is suddenly stopped. The risk is greater if you have used Catapres for a long time or in high doses, or if you are also taking a beta blocker (such as atenolol). There have also been rare reports of severe, possibly fatal reactions (such as stroke) from stopping Catapres too quickly. It is important that you do not run out of clonidine or miss any doses. Tell your doctor or pharmacist right away if you are unable to take the medication (for example, due to vomiting). To prevent any reactions while you are stopping treatment with Catapres, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Report any new or worsening symptoms right away. When used for a long time, Catapres may not work as well and may require different dosing or an additional medication. Talk with your doctor if Catapres stops working well (such as your blood pressure readings remain high or increase).
Catapres Precautions
Before taking clonidine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it (including having a rash while using clonidine patches); or if you have any other allergies. Catapres may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before using Catapres, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,kidney disease, heart rhythm problems (such as slow/irregular heartbeat, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block). Catapres may make you dizzy or drowsy. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness until you can do it safely. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Talk to your doctor if you are using marijuana (cannabis). Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). Contact lens wearers may need to use wetting eye drops since Catapres can cause dry eyes. Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of Catapres, especially dizziness, or drowsiness. These side effects may increase the risk of falling. During pregnancy, Catapres should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy or cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely. Some products have ingredients that could raise your blood pressure. Tell your pharmacist what products you are using, and ask how to use them safely (especially cough-and-cold products, diet aids, or NSAIDs such as ibuprofen/naproxen).
Catapres Side Effects
Dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, dry mouth, or constipation may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water, or use a saliva substitute. Remember that Catapres has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.
