Can Clonidine lead to fainting or sudden drops in blood pressure? How should these symptoms be managed in hypertensive patients?
Yes, Clonidine can cause fainting or sudden drops in blood pressure by reducing sympathetic nervous system activity. For management, patients should rise slowly from sitting or lying positions to prevent these symptoms.
Clonidine may lead to hypotension or fainting, especially when standing up. Hypertensive patients should be monitored regularly, and dose adjustments might be necessary.
Fainting and significant blood pressure drops can occur with Clonidine, particularly in hypertensive patients. Gradual position changes and close monitoring of blood pressure are advised to manage these effects.
