Moxonidine

About Moxonidine

Moxonidine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as centrally acting antihypertensive agents. It works by stimulating specific receptors in the brain, leading to a decrease in sympathetic nervous system activity. This helps to widen the blood vessels and reduce the resistance in the peripheral vasculature, ultimately lowering blood pressure. Moxonidine is suitable for individuals with high blood pressure, especially those who may not respond well to other types of antihypertensive medications.

Dosage and usage

The usual starting dose of Moxonidine is 200 micrograms (mcg) once daily, preferably in the morning. Your doctor may adjust this dose based on your individual response. The maximum recommended daily dose is 400 mcg. It is important to take Moxonidine exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you experience dizziness or lightheadedness while taking Moxonidine, avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
