How does methyldopa compare to clonidine in treating hypertension, considering differences in efficacy, side effects and patient adherence?
Methyldopa has lower efficacy compared to clonidine but is better tolerated. Clonidine is more potent but often results in more significant side effects like dry mouth and drowsiness, potentially reducing patient adherence.
