Patient summary
Clonidine tablets, used in the management of hypertension. An alpha-2 agonist acting at the brain stem to reduce sympathetic outflow to the vessels.
Mechanism of action
Combipres stimulates alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the brain stem. This activation reduces sympathetic outflow from the central nervous system, resulting in lowered peripheral vascular resistance and lowered heart rate, which effectively decreases blood pressure levels.
Combipres is a well-established medication used to manage hypertension. It contains the active ingredient clonidine, which is also commonly sold under the brand name Catapres. This treatment is available in tablet form in a 0.1/15g/mg strength, offering a consistent option for individuals monitoring their blood pressure levels.
Buying Combipres online
Generic clonidine is far more affordable than the original brand, offering value for residents and expats living far from a well-stocked pharmacy.

- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
