Clonidine Tablets can be used for migraine prophylaxis, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. They work by stimulating specific receptors in the brain that lower nerve activity, which can influence blood vessel tone and help prevent the vascular changes linked to migraines. Clonidine is usually taken daily as a preventive measure rather than for immediate migraine relief. Treatment is tailored to individual needs and may be adjusted based on response and tolerance. As with other uses, clonidine should not be stopped suddenly, as this can cause a rebound increase in blood pressure and other symptoms.
Clonidine Tablets For Migraine Prophylaxis belong to a group of medicines called vasodilators. These help widen the blood vessels and this helps the blood to flow more easily.
They can be used to prevent migraine attacks and similar types of headaches.
