Comparison of the effectiveness of preparations containing moxonidine during emergency antihypertensive therapy

Abstract

In 163 patients we compared the therapeutic efficacy and safety of a single sublingual original moxonidine (Fiziotenz, Abbott) and generic moxonidine (Tenzotran, Actavis Group) in the provision of emergency medical services in the case of high blood pressure. It was found that the original moxonidine (Fiziotenz) and generic moxonidine (Tenzotran) are effective to provide emergency medical services with an increase in blood pressure, especially in patients with hypersympathicotonia. At the same time, generic Tenzotran lowers blood pressure less and later than Fiziotenz, the original drug. Adverse effects after using both drugs were not expressed and rare.
