    Clonidine (Catapres) should be stored at room temperature. Do not store in the refrigerator. You should also do the following:

    •  Keep it in its original container.
    • Keep it closed tight and out of the reach of children.
    • Store it away from heat and moisture, not in the bathroom or kitchen.
    • Discard any drug if it is past its expiration date.
