Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / March 2004Clonidine
I am told that Clonidine is a 'very potent' medicine for hypertension. Is this true? How are degrees of 'potency' determined in pharmacy? FYI, my experience with this medicine is not happy at all. I am learning about this medicine. Fuli Chang Potency means refers to a concentration of drug which produces the same effect. Its often mistaken with efficacy, which refers to how much the drug produces the effect at its maximum. Clonidine is preety efficacious, and its potency is more than most of the beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, alpha-blockers and calcium antagonists... so yeah, I suppose it is very potent > I am told that Clonidine is a 'very potent' medicine for hypertension. > Is this true?
