INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2017.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Selective agonist imidazoline receptors responsible for the reflex regulation of the sympathetic nervous system (localized in the ventro-lateral region of the medulla oblongata).
Has a low affinity for the central? 2- adrenoreceptors, due to interaction with which the sedative effect and dryness of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity are mediated.
Moxonidine increases the insulin sensitivity index by 21% compared with placebo in patients with obesity, insulin resistance with a moderate degree of hypertension.

Influence on hemodynamics: a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure with a single and prolonged administration of moxonidine is associated with a decrease in the pressor effect of the sympathetic nervous system on peripheral vessels, a decrease in OPSS, while cardiac output and heart rate do not change significantly.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction and distribution

After oral administration, moxonidine rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Tmax is approximately 1 hour. Absolute bioavailability is approximately 88%. To an insignificant degree is exposed to a metabolism at "the first passage" through a liver. Eating does not affect the pharmacokinetics of the drug.
Binding to plasma proteins is 7.2%.
Moxonidine penetrates the BBB.
Metabolism

The main metabolite is deoxidized moxonidine, whose pharmacodynamic activity is about 1/10 of the activity of moxonidine.

Excretion

T 1/2 of moxonidine and metabolites is 2.5 and 5 hours, respectively.
Within 24 hours, more than 90% of moxonidine is excreted by the kidneys: approximately 78% in unchanged form, and 13% in the form of dehydrated moxonidine. Other metabolites in the urine account for approximately 8% of the dose. Less than 1% of the dose is excreted through the intestine.
Pharmacokinetics in specific patient groups

The excretion of moxonidine largely correlates with QC.
In patients with moderate renal insufficiency (CK 30-60 ml / min), C ss in the blood plasma and final T 1/2 areapproximately 2 and 1.5 times higher than in patients with arterial hypertension with normal renal function (KC more than 90 ml / min.). In patients with severe renal insufficiency (CC less than 30 ml / min), C ss in plasma and final T 1/2 are 3 times higher than in patients with normal renal function. The use of moxonidine in multiple doses does not lead to cumulation in the body of patients with moderate and severe renal insufficiency. In patients with terminal renal failure (CC less than 10 ml / min) on hemodialysis, C ss in the blood plasma and final T 1/2 are respectively 6 and 4 times higher than in patients with normal renal function. In patients with impaired renal function, the dose should be selected individually. Moxonidine is slightly excreted in hemodialysis.
INDICATIONS

- arterial hypertension.

DOSING MODE

The drug is administered orally, regardless of food intake.
Tablets should be washed down with a sufficient amount of liquid.
In most cases, the initial dose of Tenzotran is 200 Ојg / day in 1 dose, preferably in the morning hours.
If the therapeutic effect is inadequate, the dose can be increased after 3 weeks of therapy to 400 mcg / day in 2 divided doses (morning and evening) or in 1 morning (in the morning). The maximum daily dose, which should be divided into 2 divided doses (morning and evening), is 600 mcg. The maximum single dose is 400 Ојg.
In elderly patients with normal renal function, the recommendations for the dosing regimen are the same as for adult patients.

In patients with renal insufficiency (QC 30-60 ml / min) and patients on hemodialysis , a single dose should not exceed 200 mcg.
The maximum daily dose is 400 mcg.
SIDE EFFECT

The most frequent adverse reactions, especially at the beginning of therapy, were dry mouth, headache, asthenia and drowsiness.
The intensity of their manifestation and frequency decrease upon repeated admission.
The incidence of adverse reactions is determined as follows: very often (> 1/10), often (> 1/100, <1/10), sometimes (> 1/1000 and <1/100), very rarely (<1/1000 , including individual messages).

From the side of the central nervous system: often - increased fatigue, drowsiness, headache, dizziness;
sometimes - insomnia, asthenia.
From the cardiovascular system: often - vasodilation;
sometimes - excessive reduction of blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension, paresthesia, Raynaud's syndrome, peripheral microcirculation disorders.
From the digestive tract: very often - dryness of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity;
often - nausea, constipation and other abnormalities of the gastrointestinal function; very rarely - hepatitis, cholestasis.
From the genitourinary system: sometimes - urine retention or incontinence, impotence, decreased libido.

Allergic reactions: sometimes - skin manifestations, angioedema.

From the side of the eye: sometimes - dry eyes, causing itching or burning sensation.

Other: sometimes - edema of different localization, weakness in the legs, fainting, fluid retention, anorexia, pain in the parotid glands, gynecomastia.

APPLICATION FOR CHILDREN

Contraindicated in children and adolescents under 18 years of age
(efficiency and safety not established).
APPLICATION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS

In elderly patients
with normal renal function, the recommendations for the dosing regimen are the same as for adult patients.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

If it is necessary to cancel simultaneously taken beta-blockers and Tenzotran, first abolish beta-blockers and only after a few days - Tenzotran.

Stop taking Tenzotrana should be gradual.

It is not recommended to prescribe tricyclic antidepressants simultaneously with Tenzotran.

During treatment, regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate and ECG is necessary.

Moxonidine can be prescribed with thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors and slow calcium channel blockers.

Patients with a rare hereditary pathology of galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome should not take Tenzotran.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

Data on the adverse effects of moxonidine on the ability to drive vehicles and to manage mechanisms are absent.
There are reports of the development of drowsiness and dizziness during treatment with moxonidine. This should be taken into account when prescribing the drug to patients who engage in potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.
OVERDOSE

There are reports of several cases of overdose without a lethal outcome, when doses up to 19.6 mg per dose were applied.

Symptoms: headache, sedation, drowsiness, marked decrease in blood pressure, dizziness, asthenia, bradycardia, dry mouth, vomiting and stomach pain, increased fatigue.
Potential short-term increases in blood pressure, tachycardia, hyperglycemia are possible.
Treatment: there is no specific antidote.
Gastric lavage, intake of activated carbon and laxatives, symptomatic therapy. In the case of a marked decrease in blood pressure, it is recommended to introduce a fluid for the recovery of bcc and the introduction of dopamine. Bradycardia can be stopped with atropine. Antagonists? -adrenoceptors are able to reduce or eliminate transient hypertension in case of an overdose of moxonidine.
DRUG INTERACTION

Moxonidine can be administered with thiazide diuretics, slow calcium channel blockers, and other antihypertensive agents.
The combined use of moxonidine with these and other antihypertensive agents leads to an additive effect and an increase in the hypotensive effect.
When moxonidine is administered with hydrochlorothiazide, glibenclamide (glyburide), or digoxin, there is no pharmacokinetic interaction.

Tricyclic antidepressants can reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive agents of central action, therefore it is not recommended to prescribe tricyclic antidepressants concomitantly with moxonidine.

Moxonidine moderately increases the reduced cognitive ability in patients taking lorazepam.

The administration of moxonidine together with benzodiazepines may be accompanied by an increase in the sedative effect of the latter.

Moxonidine is able to potentiate the effect of ethanol when used together.

When moxonidine is administered together with moclobemide, pharmacodynamic interaction is absent.
