Moxonidine

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.

Each Moxonidine tablet contains 200 mcg of the active ingredient Moxonidine. The excipients include lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, maize starch, colloidal anhydrous silica, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, macrogol 6000, titanium dioxide (E171), and talc.

Common side effects of Moxonidine may include dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and fatigue. In some cases, Moxonidine can cause more serious side effects such as bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypotension (low blood pressure), or fluid retention. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of a severe allergic reaction such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

You should not take Moxonidine if you have severe liver impairment or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor about any other medical conditions you have, especially heart problems, kidney disease, or diabetes. Moxonidine may interact with certain medications such as beta-blockers or tricyclic antidepressants, so it is essential to disclose all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
