For meds-He also had difficulty with blood pressure control, but did obtain some reasonable semblance of control on clonidine 0.6 mg patches as well as some supplemental IV hydralazine.   switched to IV Solu-Cortif since he had been on 5 mg of Prednisone orally for his spondylitis.  He was initially started on  s/l  Clivicten on the 3rd postoperative day, but this had to be stopped.  Reglan was added to his regimen.  Cannot find what this drug would be.  Sorry so long
