This compounded formulation of Clonidine HCl 6.25 mcg Troche is a versatile treatment option for a range of conditions, including hypertension, ADHD, anxiety, menopausal hot flashes, and migraines. Clonidine is a centrally acting alpha-2 agonist that functions by reducing sympathetic outflow from the central nervous system. This action results in a decrease in blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety levels. Additionally, it has been found to reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes in menopausal women and decrease the intensity of migraine headaches.

The Clonidine HCl 6.25 mcg Troche is presented in a square-shaped solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. This unique form allows for the medication to be absorbed through the oral mucosa, providing targeted local or systemic effects. This troche form is convenient and easy to take, with or without food, making it a practical choice for many patients.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be consumed with alcohol or other medications that may interact with it. Potential side effects of this medication include drowsiness, so patients should exercise caution when operating machinery or driving. It is always recommended to discuss potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
