What is Moxonidine?

Moxonidine is a blood pressure lowering medicine. The active substance is a so-called imidazoline receptor antagonist; A substance that relaxes the blood vessels. You can order Moxonidine online through the pharmacies that work with Dokteronline.com.

What is this medication used for?

Doctors prescribe Moxonidine for high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. This condition usually causes few complaints, but too high a blood pressure can be harmful to the blood vessels and the organs. As a result, for example, conditions such as a stroke, kidney damage or a heart attack may occur. Moxonidine affects the nerves that regulate the tension in the blood vessels. As a result, the vessels become wider and blood pressure decreases.

How to use Moxonidine?

Swallow the tablet without chewing. Take the tablet in the morning, with or without food. If you need to take multiple doses per day, divide them as much as possible during the day. Never stop taking the tablets, but gradually reduce their use.
