When to consider an alternative to Clonidine Transdermal System Usp, 0.1 Mg/day

Switching is a decision to make with your prescriber, not on your own. People most often look for a substitute for one of a few reasons — and the right alternative depends on which one applies:

• Effectiveness. If Clonidine Transdermal System Usp, 0.1 Mg/dayisn't controlling your condition, a different mechanism of action may work where this one fell short.
