Brief Answer:
give catapres at same time as usual.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion, you should give him catapres at routine timings even when you have given him concerta at night.
In the past, there used to be some concern about interactions, but more recent scientific studies haven't found there to be problems.
Since clonidine has effects on blood pressure, it should be given at the same time every day.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.
Thanks.
