Clonidine, sold under the brand name Catapres among others, is an α 2A-adrenergic receptor agonist [12] medication used to treat high blood pressure, ADHD, drug withdrawal (e.g., alcohol, opioids, or nicotine), menopausal flushing, diarrhea, spasticity, and certain pain conditions. [13]
Class of medications that are competitive antagonists that block the receptor sites for the endogenous catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) on adrenergic beta receptors, of the sympathetic nervous system.
Xylazine is a structural analog of clonidine and an α 2-adrenergic receptor agonist, [1] sold under many trade names worldwide, most notably the Bayer brand name Rompun, [2] as well as Anased, Sedazine and Chanazine.
Clonidine and other imidazoline compounds have also been shown to reduce muscle spasms by their central nervous system activity. Tizanidine is perhaps the most thoroughly studied clonidine analog, and is an agonist at α 2-adrenergic receptors, but reduces spasticity at doses that result in significantly less hypotension than clonidine. [26]
An adrenergic agonist is a drug that stimulates a response from the adrenergic receptors.The five main categories of adrenergic receptors are: α 1, α 2, β 1, β 2, and β 3, although there are more subtypes, and agonists vary in specificity between these receptors, and may be classified respectively.

Chlornidine is a preemergent herbicide.It is a dinitroaniline used in China [3] and India [4] on soybeans, corn, cotton, sorghum, and peanuts. [1]It is similar to other dinitroanilines and inhibits the emergence of soybeans less than any other dinitroaniline, though it had unimpressive control of velvet-leaf and giant foxtail.
Since it is difficult to measure extrapyramidal symptoms, rating scales are commonly used to assess the severity of movement disorders. The Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS), Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), and Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS) are rating scales frequently used for such assessment and are not weighted for diagnostic purposes ...
