What is the onset of action for methyldopa in reducing blood pressure and how does this timeframe influence its use in both acute and chronic hypertension management?
Methyldopa lowers blood pressure within 4-6 hours of oral administration. Its slow onset makes it less suitable for acute crises, but effective for chronic management.
