Cloud 100 mcg Tablet

Cloud 100 mcg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains clonidine 100 micrograms in each tablet. Clonidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist used mainly to treat high blood pressure, and it may also be prescribed for certain other doctor-directed uses. Cloud 100 mcg Tablet is part of the Heart & Blood Pressure category and is manufactured by Feron Healthcare. It should be taken only as directed because clonidine can lower blood pressure and heart rate.

How it works: Clonidine works by reducing nerve signals from the brain that tell the blood vessels to tighten, which helps blood vessels relax and blood pressure go down. Because Cloud 100 mcg Tablet is an oral tablet, the medicine is absorbed after swallowing and then works throughout the body to lower sympathetic activity.

Cloud 100 mcg Tablet provides 100 mcg per tablet, which is a standard tablet strength for patients whose doctor wants a specific low-to-moderate clonidine dose. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this tablet is the exact option to use when a prescriber has chosen clonidine in this strength rather than a different dose or formulation. It is often selected when a doctor wants precise dose adjustment and a tablet that can be swallowed with water.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Doctor-directed blood pressure control
• Other clinician-prescribed uses of clonidine

• Swallow Cloud 100 mcg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed, because missing doses can cause blood pressure to rise again.
• You may take it with or without food unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Do not stop Cloud 100 mcg Tablet suddenly without medical advice, as this can cause rebound high blood pressure.
• If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not crush or chew unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says the tablet is suitable for that.

Each Cloud 100 mcg Tablet contains clonidine 100 mcg. The number of tablets taken per day depends on the condition being treated and the doctor’s plan; clonidine is often given in divided doses, and the maximum daily amount must be set by the prescriber based on blood pressure response and tolerability. Because this is a stronger prescription tablet than very small starting doses, your doctor may adjust it carefully to avoid low blood pressure or excessive drowsiness.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Cloud 100 mcg Tablet can cause sleepiness and dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
• Alcohol can increase drowsiness and may worsen blood pressure lowering.
• Do not stop clonidine suddenly, especially this 100 mcg tablet, because abrupt withdrawal can cause dangerous rebound hypertension.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, since dosing may need extra care.
• Be careful if you already take medicines that lower blood pressure or heart rate.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should only use it if the prescriber decides the benefit outweighs risk.
