Wytensin - Guanabenz

Guanabenz (Wytensin). Guanabenz is used primarily to decrease blood pressure via its effect on alpha-2 receptors in the brainstem. This drug is similar to clonidine in efficacy and clinical use. [Pg.276]

Antiadrenergic drags (centrally acting)—for example, guanabenz (Wytensin) and guanfacine (Tenex)... [Pg.394]

Guanabenz (Wytensin) and guanfacine Tenex) are two drugs with considerable structural similarity to clonidine. These agents also are central aj-agonists and exhibit an antihypertensive profile similar to that of clonidine. [Pg.236]

Transdermal (Catapres-TTS) patches that release 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg/24 h Guanabenz (generic, Wytensin)... [Pg.245]

Guanabenz (Wytensin, others) is a centrally acting tt2 agonist that decreases BP by a mechanism similar to those of clonidine and gnanfacine. Guanabenz has a half-life of 4 to 6 hours and is extensively metabolized by the liver. Dosage adjustment may be necessary in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. The adverse effects caused by guanabenz (e.g., dry mouth and sedation) are similar to those seen with clonidine. [Pg.314]

Guanabenz (Wytensin) As for clonidine. Also depletes norepinephrine stores in peripheral adrenergic nerve terminals. Mild to moderate hypertension. Dry mouth, sedation. Rebound hypertension is observed less frequently. [Pg.66]
