Guanoxan is a brand-name prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to a class of medications known as centrally acting antihypertensives, which work by affecting certain chemicals in the brain to reduce nerve impulses to the heart and blood vessels. This helps to reduce blood pressure. Guanoxan is available in tablet form and should be taken once daily with or without food. Common side effects include lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue.
