Q

• Treatment of the clonidine induced rebound hypertension _______

  1. Restart clonidine if non-life threatening situation
  2. Administer___________
  3. Beta-adrenergic blocking agents (especially nonselective betaadrenergic agents) SHOULD NOT be used alone in this setting, why?
A

1.urgency of reducing the arterial blood pressure:
2. Administering vasodilators such as ***hydralazine, sodium nitroprusside or a combination of α- and β adrenergic blockade (Labetalol IV)
