Physiotens
Physiotens, containing Moxonidine, is a medication primarily used to manage hypertension. It works by reducing blood pressure through its action on the central nervous system. This medication helps relax blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and thus lowering blood pressure. Moxonidine is known for its efficacy and is often prescribed when other antihypertensive drugs are not suitable. The tablets are easy to administer and integrate into daily treatment regimens.
