Can methyldopa cause nasal congestion and what are the possible mechanisms and treatment options for this side effect?
Methyldopa can cause nasal congestion as a side effect. This is likely due to its alpha-2 adrenergic agonist action, which can lead to constriction of nasal blood vessels. Treatment options include decongestants or adjusting the medication regimen.
