Moxon 0.2 Tablet is taken orally.

Moxon 0.2 Tablet contains moxonidine (0.2 mg), which works in your body in the following ways:

• Stimulates Imidazoline-1 Receptors: Moxonidine stimulates imidazoline-1 receptors in your central nervous system. This action decreases the activity of your sympathetic nervous system, which in turn relaxes and widens your blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood.

• Promotes Sodium Excretion: In addition to the above, moxonidine promotes the excretion of sodium from your body. This reduces the volume of fluid in your blood vessels, contributing to the lowering of blood pressure.

• Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Moxonidine improves insulin sensitivity, a factor that further contributes to its antihypertensive effects and could potentially benefit those with insulin resistance syndrome.

• Store your Moxon 0.2 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C.

• Protect it from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.

• Keep this medicine well out of the reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before taking your medication.

• To help manage hypertension, reduce your salt intake. Eating less salt can assist in lowering blood pressure.

• Regular physical activity can also contribute to better blood pressure control. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, every day.
