Iporel (clonidine) is often prescribed by doctors for urgent, ad hoc "breaking" of the pressure surge. Virtually all values above 140/90 mmHg carry the risk of complications, but it is often enough to use antihypertensive drugs for daily use in accordance with medical recommendations. When is it worth taking Iporel? In addition to the pressure value itself (above 140/90 mmHg), the clinical picture of the patient is also important - the jump occurs suddenly, there is an urgent need to lower the pressure, the basic drugs do not work, and in addition there are symptoms such as headache, dizziness, redness or nausea. If, for example, the pressure values exceed 140/90 mmHg, but the general condition of the patient is good, it is enough to make changes to the basic treatment, there is no need to administer an "emergent" drug. A blood pressure monitor is an indispensable device that monitors the state of our pressure.
