When should you consider adding clonidine to an antihypertensive regimen for patients with advanced CKD?
Is there a certain estimated GFR threshold below which clonidine is to be avoided or used with caution ?
Answer from: at Community Practice
Clonidine patch is useful in severely uncontrolled hypertension. In patients with CKD, not responding to conventional medications - like calcium blockers. Though the side effect profile is not great, it is less expensive and practical.
