Take as prescribed: Clonidine pills should be taken 2 to 4 times daily. If bottle says twice daily take one in morning and one in evening.

Clonidine/ catapres: Clonidine is usually taken in a split dose (morning & bedtime). If one dose is higher, take at bedtime. If only one dose is taken recommend it be taken about two hours before sleep if improved sleep is needed. It can be taken with or without food. If you take an extended release Clonidine tablet – swallow it – don't chew, crush or cut it. There is also extended-release oral suspension.
