Active Ingredient Description
Moxonidine

Moxonidine has been shown to bind selectively to the I1-imidazoline receptors in the brain stem. These imidazoline-sensitive receptors are concentrated in the rostral ventrolateral medulla, an area which is of crucial importance for central control of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system. The result of this effect on the I1-imidazoline receptors has been apparent in reduced activity in the sympathetic nerves. (demonstrated for cardiac, splanchnic and renal sympathetic nerves).
