Description
Clonidine is a prescription medication originally developed to treat high blood pressure, but it is also used to relieve hot flushes and night sweats associated with menopause and to manage hormone-related symptoms in various therapy settings. It works by affecting the part of the brain that controls temperature regulation and nerve signalling.
In menopausal care, Clonidine is used off-label to reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flushes. It is often considered when hormone replacement therapy is not suitable or desired. Unlike oestrogens or progestogens, Clonidine does not act directly on hormone levels but instead helps the body regulate its response to changes in temperature and stress.
Clonidine is typically taken in tablet form once or twice daily. It is not a hormone but can be a useful supportive medication in menopause management. It should be used consistently and tapered gradually when stopping to avoid withdrawal effects such as rebound hypertension.
