Clonipres ER 0.2 Tablet Clonidine Hydrochloride Carvedilol
ModerateIf you stop clonidine suddenly, your blood pressure can shoot up. Beta-blockers can make that rise worse. Carvedilol is a beta-blocker, but it also blocks alpha receptors. In theory, that alpha-blocking action of Carvedilol (Vesodil) should soften the rise. So don't stop clonidine suddenly while taking Carvedilol. Ask your doctor how to bring the dose down gradually.
These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.
