Information About Moxonidine

Moxonidine is a selective imidazoline I1 receptor agonist used to treat mild to moderate hypertension in Singapore. Available as a 0.2mg–0.4mg oral tablet taken once daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. By selectively activating central imidazoline receptors rather than alpha-2 adrenoceptors, moxonidine reduces sympathetic outflow with a significantly lower incidence of dry mouth and sedation compared to older centrally acting antihypertensives such as methyldopa and clonidine.
