Guanabenz
A centrally acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonist used to treat hypertension by reducing sympathetic nervous system outflow from the brain, which lowers heart rate and relaxes blood vessels. It is taken orally and was used before newer antihypertensive agents became available. Abrupt discontinuation can cause rebound hypertension and should be avoided.
