Pharmacological properties
It is a selective agonist of imidazoline receptors in the brain stem. These receptors are found mainly in the rostral region of the ventrolateral region of the medulla oblongata, which plays an important role in the control of the sympathetic branch of the nervous system. As a result of the interaction of the drug with imidazoline receptors, the activity of the sympathetic nervous system changes, which leads to a decrease in blood pressure.
