Clonidine, marketed under the brand name Catapres, is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by stimulating certain receptors in the brain, which helps to relax blood vessels and reduce heart rate, ultimately lowering blood pressure. Additionally, clonidine is sometimes used to manage withdrawal symptoms in opioid addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and certain pain conditions.
