The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Urine Therapy and Clonidine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Urine Therapy and Clonidine

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Clonidine and Urine Therapy in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Urine Therapy at all — not against Clonidine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Urine Therapy safety at a glance

Urine Therapy overall Avoid No proven benefit and a real risk of infection, dehydration, and toxicity.
Pregnancy Avoid Not safe and offers no proven benefit during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid Not safe and offers no proven benefit while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

What Clonidine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Urine Therapy. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Clonidine’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 4 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on mentioned in 5.7% of FDA reports for Clonidine
  • An allergic reaction Worth acting on
  • Vivid dreams or nightmares
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Tremor or shakiness
  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • Dry mouth
  • A fast or pounding heartbeat

Showing the 10 most notable of 21 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Clonidine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 57,112 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Clonidine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Urine Therapy’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Urine Therapy side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Urine Therapy has no side effects.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Clonidine

This page covers Urine Therapy only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Clonidine page lists 138 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), American Mistletoe (major), Tyramine (major) and Adrafinil (moderate).

By severity: 4 major · 113 moderate · 21 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Clonidine page

“American hellebore is the ingredient I would want a clonidine (Catapres) patient to know about first. Its alkaloids lower blood pressure even in small doses and slow the heart, both things clonidine already does, so the combination can drop someone dangerously low.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Urine Therapy is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Urine Therapy reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Urine Therapy and Clonidine records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Urine Therapy

What is Urine Therapy?

  • General wellness and detox beliefs
  • Skin conditions
  • Wound or rash care
  • Allergies
  • Cancer (alternative use)
  • Infections

Urine therapy is a practice of drinking or applying one's own urine, promoted in some traditional and alternative health circles. There is no reliable scientific evidence that it treats or prevents any disease, and drinking urine can cause harm. We do not recommend it.

Human urine (one's own) · Drinking fresh urine, skin application, gargling, eye or ear drops

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Urine Therapy is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Urine Therapy record says about it on its own.

Urine Therapy: dosing

There is no established or safe dose for urine therapy because it is not a recognized medical treatment. There are safer, evidence-based options for nearly every condition people use it for.

From our Urine Therapy monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.

About Clonidine

What Is Clonidine Used For?

Brand name: Catapres

Clonidine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Several products — including Clonidine Hydrochloride tablets, Javadin oral solution, Nexiclon XR extended-release tablets, and Catapres-TTS skin patches — are approved for this use, either alone or combined with other blood pressure medicines.

Extended-release formulations — including Onyda XR oral suspension and clonidine hydrochloride extended-release tablets (such as Kapvay) — are approved to treat ADHD in children and teenagers ages 6 to 17, either on their own or alongside stimulant medications. Separately, clonidine injection products (Duraclon and others) are used alongside opioid pain medicines to treat severe cancer pain that opioids alone cannot control adequately.
