Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
Section 8.6 directs an initial dose based on renal impairment, careful monitoring for hypotension/bradycardia and cautious upward titration; pediatric renal pharmacokinetics remain unassessed. No numeric renal ladder is supplied. Because routine hemodialysis removes only a minimal amount, supplemental ONYDA XR after dialysis is unnecessary.
Measure heart rate and blood pressure before starting, after dose increases and periodically. The product is not interchangeable mg-for-mg with other clonidine formulations. Avoid abrupt withdrawal: the label requires gradual tapering to reduce rebound-hypertension risk. This is not a recommendation to use an unadjusted starting dose in renal impairment.
