Clonidine-methyldopa
What is Clonidine-methyldopa? Clonidine-methyldopa, also known as Aldomet, is a medication used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines clonidine, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, with methyldopa, an antihypertensive agent. The combination works by stimulating alpha-2 receptors in the brain and also by increasing the activity of an enzyme that helps to lower blood pressure. This medication is available in various formulations, including immediate-release and extended-release tablets, and can be prescribed as a monotherapy or used concomitantly with other antihypertensive medications....
