Moxonidine is the newest, second-generation, centrally acting antihypertensive agent. It has selective agonist activity at imidazoline I1 receptors and less adverse effects than the other centrally acting drugs.

Antihypertensive agent whose site of action is the Central Nervous System (CNS), specifically involving interactions with I1- imidazoline and alpha-2-adrenergic rececptors within the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RSV). Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION regardless of pharmacological mechanism.

Moxonidine is a medicine available in a number of countries worldwide. A list of US medications equivalent to Moxonidine is available on the Drugs.com website.

Moxonidine (Physiotens, Moxon, Cynt) is an orally administered imidazoline compound with selective agonist activity at imidazoline I1 receptors and only minor activity at alpha2-adrenoceptors. Moxonidine acts centrally to reduce peripheral sympathetic activity, thus decreasing peripheral vascular resistance.
