4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

For management of High blood pressure


FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Guanabenz, a centrally acting α-2 adrenergic agonist, is indicated for treatment of hypertension.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Adrenergic alpha-2 Receptor Agonists

Compounds that bind to and activate ADRENERGIC ALPHA-2 RECEPTORS. (See all compounds classified as Adrenergic alpha-2 Receptor Agonists.)


Antihypertensive Agents

Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Among the antihypertensive agents are DIURETICS; (especially DIURETICS, THIAZIDE); ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-ANTAGONISTS; ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS; CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS; GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS; and VASODILATOR AGENTS. (See all compounds classified as Antihypertensive Agents.)


5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Approximately 75% absorbed from gastrointestinal tract


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hepatic


5.5 Biological Half-Life

6 hours.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Guanabenz's antihypertensive effect is thought to be due to central alpha-adrenergic stimulation, which results in a decreased sympathetic outflow to the heart, kidneys, and peripheral vasculature in addition to a decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure and a slight slowing of pulse rate. Chronic administration of guanabenz also causes a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance.
