What to do

  1. Check if your Clonidine patch matches lot 100060002 or 100066802
  2. If it does, contact your pharmacy or doctor before stopping the medication
  3. Do not suddenly stop using Clonidine without medical guidance, as this can cause serious blood pressure changes
  4. Ask your pharmacist for a replacement from a non-recalled lot
