Primarily, it works by stimulating the receptors present in the brain stem. Here it shows sympatholytic effect, thus inhibits the noradrenaline, ATP, renin and neuropeptide Y release. This leads to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, causing a lowering of blood pressure. For producing secondary effects, it acts as an imidazoline-1 receptor in the brain.
