Early studies had suggested that the hypotensiveaction of α-methyldopa was a result of the peripheral propertiesof the drug as a decarboxylase inhibitor or a falsetransmitter. | | Clinical Use | Ethyl methyldopate hydrochloride is used as a step 2 agent and is recommendedfor patients with high blood pressure who are not responsiveto diuretic therapy alone.
