Clonipres ER Tablet 0.1 mg contains Clonidine Hydrochloride in an extended-release (ER) formulation. It is an antihypertensive medicine used for the long-term management of high blood pressure (hypertension). The extended-release form provides a gradual and sustained release of the drug, helping maintain stable blood pressure control throughout the day.

Clonidine works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce nerve signals that constrict blood vessels. This results in relaxed blood vessels, reduced heart rate, and lowered blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

This medicine should be used only under medical supervision due to its strong effect on blood pressure and central nervous system activity.

How Clonipres ER Tablet Works

The ER formulation releases the medicine slowly, helping maintain consistent therapeutic levels and improving 24-hour blood pressure control.
