Loniten may work by relaxing blood vessels and allowing blood to flow more easily, which helps reduce blood pressure.

According to available sources, it functions as a vasodilator, specifically targeting smooth muscle in blood vessels to reduce vascular resistance.

Clinical applications

Loniten is typically prescribed for patients with severe or treatment-resistant hypertension. It’s often used when other blood pressure medications haven’t worked well enough. This blog discusses related topics.
