Product Overview
Methyldopa is a centrally acting antihypertensive agent. Unlike peripheral vasodilators, it is a prodrug that is metabolized in the brain to an active metabolite, which then modulates the sympathetic nervous system to reduce blood pressure effectively and safely.
The “Gestational Safety” Specialist:
- Mechanism of Action: Methyldopa is converted to alpha-methylnorepinephrine in the central nervous system. This metabolite stimulates central alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, which inhibits the sympathetic outflow from the brainstem to the heart and blood vessels, resulting in a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance.
- First-Line in Pregnancy: Methyldopa is globally recognized as the treatment of choice for chronic hypertension in pregnancy and gestational hypertension. It has a long-standing safety record, showing no evidence of teratogenicity or adverse effects on fetal hemodynamics.
- Renal Preservation: Methyldopa maintains renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, making it a suitable option for hypertensive patients with compromised renal function.
