Tablets - 250 mg

The mechanism of action of methyldopa has yet to be conclusively demonstrated, but probably it is due to the metabolism of this drug to alpha-methylnorepinephrine, which lowers arterial pressure by stimulation of central inhibitory alpha-adrenergic receptors. It gives false neurotransmission, and reduces plasma renin activity.

Metil dopa 250 mg tablets are indicated in the treatment of hypertension.
