What Does Physiotens Treat?

Hypertension may not exhibit symptoms to alert you that your blood pressure (BP) is dangerously high, but it does not mean that you can simply ignore your diagnosis and expect it to get better on its own. Eating healthier, losing weight, and giving up nicotine are steps in the right direction, but some individuals may still need medical help. Physiotens may also help to promote the excretion of sodium and improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance for diabetics.

Physiotens or generic Moxonidine is from a new class of central-acting anti-hypertensive drugs developed as an add-on to your current medication in order to sufficiently bring your BP to a safe level. Usually, the older central-acting anti-hypertensive drugs could cause sedation and depression. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

How This Newer Type of Anti-Hypertensive Drug Works

When taken as directed, Physiotens works in your brain to stimulate imidazoline receptors. By doing so, there is a reduction of nerve signals sent from your brain to your blood vessels allowing them to relax and dilate. This creates more space in your blood vessels so there is less pressure as blood flows through them. There is no cure for hypertension, but with the right medications and a positive change of lifestyle, you are able to carry on with your busy day and work, shop, cook, play, and enjoy yourself.

Other Health Conditions That Hypertension Can Cause

You may be surprised to learn that high blood pressure can cause several serious health problems if not treated. Some of these are - Kidney disease; damage sustained from the high pressure against your artery walls can affect your kidney’s ability to rid your body of toxins. Heart disease; the force of the blood flow through your arteries can cause scarring that makes your heart work harder to pump blood around your body or could make your heart starve for a proper blood supply. Atherosclerosis; damaged artery walls can begin to collect plaque and fat which affects the flow of blood. Stroke; advanced atherosclerosis will completely block blood flow and starve your brain of oxygen.

Before You Receive an Rx for Physiotens

Ask your doctor if Physiotens is safe to take if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any OTC or Rx drugs you currently use or take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. This allows your doctor to determine if Physiotens is the right medication for you.

Physiotens Precautions

Until you know how Physiotens will affect you, avoid any activities that require you to be alert. Keep Physiotens and all other medications out of children’s reach and never share your drugs with others. Do not stop taking Physiotens suddenly. Discuss this with your doctor as the dose will have to be reduced gradually as instructed by your doctor.
