Methyldopa

Uses

Methyldopa is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and opioid withdrawal. Reducing high blood pressure lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke.

How it Works

How Methyldopa works: Methyldopa is an alpha-2 agonist. It functions by relaxing blood vessels, which allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently throughout the body.
