Drug & Food Interactions of Physiotens 0.2mg Tablet

Drug Interactions:

• Other antihypertensive agents — concurrent use may enhance blood pressure-lowering effects, increasing the risk of hypotension
• Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) — may reduce the antihypertensive efficacy of moxonidine and are generally not recommended in combination
• Benzodiazepines and CNS depressants — moxonidine may potentiate the sedative effects of these medications
• Beta-blockers — if discontinuation of both drugs is required, beta-blockers should be stopped first, followed by moxonidine a few days later, to avoid rebound hypertension
• Alcohol — may enhance the sedative and blood pressure-lowering effects of moxonidine; caution is advised
• Diuretics and vasodilators — additive hypotensive effects may occur when used alongside Physiotens
• Moclobemide or MAO inhibitors — limited data available; use with caution under medical supervision

Food Interactions:

• Physiotens can be taken with or without food — food does not significantly affect its absorption
• Alcohol consumption should be minimised or avoided, as it may intensify dizziness and sedation
• No specific food restrictions are known, but maintaining a heart-healthy, low-sodium diet supports the overall management of blood pressure

Always inform your doctor and pharmacist about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking before starting Physiotens.
