Yes, some hot flashes do respond to clonidine. But its side effect profile can be difficult for some people.
I was just checking because errors can happen. Before Zantac went OTC, the big error confusions were about Xanax/Zantac.
Over the phone they sound very much alike. Doctors even mixed that duo up in their minds! And on the Pharmacy end, they were mixed up too during transcription. Today many doctors send emails for their medications for patients. That is really a nice feature.
My son took clonidine when he used ADHD meds. He took it for a year, and even 1/2 of a 0.1 mg was too much for him. Cutting the 0.1's was difficult too to get the 0.05 dose. You'll just have to see how it goes for you.
Prilosec was renamed from Losec because it was confused with Lasix. ( in the USA).
