Does Slight Overdose Of Clonidine Cause Any Adverse Side Effects?
My son weighs 47 pounds he takes .2 milligrams of clonidine at bedtime. These used to be two .1 tablets but recently were changed to one .2 tablet. My husband did not know and accidentally gave him two pills which is double the dose. Is this an overdose

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No it's not an overdose. He has just received a dose higher than what was prescribed and it shouldn't cause any problems. Just make sure that it is not repeated in future.
