Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Moxonidine 0.4 MG
Treatment: Drugs - Amlodipine 5mg

Experimental: Phase 1 - Moxonidine 0.4mg/daily

Experimental: Phase 2 - Amlodipine 5mg


Treatment: Drugs: Moxonidine 0.4 MG
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive moxonidine 0.4mg/daily and will later receive the alternate treatment. As the study is double blind neither the participant nor the study personnel will be aware of which treatment is currently being tested to avoid any effect this may have on the results. The two 12-week treatment phases will be separated by a 6-week wash out (drug-free) period.
