clonidine and Childhood Tic Disorders

clonidine has been researched along with Childhood Tic Disorders in 35 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
