Pharmacology - Methyldopa 
The Action of Methyldopa 
It decreases the release of NA. Brings down the blood pressure

The mode of action primarily affects the central nervous system. methylnoradrenaline, also known as methylnorepinephrine, is produced when it is taken up by adrenergic neurones and transformed into a false transmitter signal. The release of this occurs, and it has an effect on the alpha-2 adrenoceptors, which in turn reduces the release of NA.

The process of absorbing, distributing, and eliminating 
When taken orally, it is actively carried into the neurones of the CT. Two hours is the plasma half-life, while twenty-four hours is the duration of action.

Clinical Use 
Hypertension in pregnancy 

Adverse Effects 
Dry mouth, hypersensitivity responses, hypotension, and brief drowsiness are some of the symptoms that may occur.
