Healthcare providers often prescribe clonidine hydrochloride (Catapres^®, Catapres-TTS^®, Duraclon^®) for the treatment of high blood pressure. The medicine comes as a tablet, skin patch, or epidural (the continuous epidural infusion is used in combination with opiates for treating severe pain in people with cancer). Although most people tolerate the medication well, as with any medicine, side effects are possible. Potential side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, and headaches.
