📋Overview
Clonidine is a medication that primarily affects the central nervous system by stimulating certain receptors to lower blood pressure. It is commonly associated with the management of hypertension and can also be used in conditions involving withdrawal symptoms or attention-related disorders. Clonidine's effects on nerve signals make it useful in a variety of clinical settings where regulation of blood pressure or calming of hyperactivity is desired. Its versatility has led to its use in both cardiovascular and neurological contexts.
