clonidine and Convulsions, Grand Mal

clonidine has been researched along with Convulsions, Grand Mal in 2 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.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

"Focal and convulsive seizure thresholds were evaluated 10-12 min post-infusion and compared to thresholds obtained during two, interspersed control conditions (vehicle control: 1 microliter microinfusion of sterile saline; sham control: needle insertion only)."5.29The alpha 2-agonist clonidine suppresses seizures, whereas the alpha 2-antagonist idazoxan promotes seizures--a microinfusion study in amygdala-kindled kittens.
