  • Title: [Evaluation of the treatment with clonidine of short stature in children].
    Author: Casanova Bellido M, García Valderrama P, Rico de Cos S.
    Journal: An Esp Pediatr; 1989 Sep; 31(3):233-9. PubMed ID: 2631606.
    Abstract:
    We report the results obtained after a treatment with clonidine. 100 micrograms/m2/d, to 23 prepubertal children (11 boys and 12 girls) along six months. All of them presented the characteristics of constitutional growth delay, and responded to different stimuli with serum GH levels upper to 10 ng/ml. The growth speed and the somatomedin C levels increased and the height SD score decreased, in 87% of the subjects. We contrast this results with the ones obtained by others authors and we finally comment the clonidine acting mechanisms and the possible therapeutic indications.
