  • Midodrine Overview

    Midodrine is used for certain patients who have symptoms of low blood pressure when standing. This condition is also known as orthostatic hypotension. Midodrine is used in people whose daily activities are severely affected by this condition, even after other treatments are used (such as support stockings). It is known as a sympathomimetic (alpha receptor agonist) that acts on the blood vessels to raise blood pressure.

  • Midodrine Warnings

    Midodrine should only be used in carefully selected patients. When you are lying on your back, Midodrine causes a significant increase in blood pressure. Your blood pressure will be monitored carefully during treatment.

  • How to Use Midodrine

    Take Midodrine by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times daily (at least 3 to 4 hours between doses). Follow all your doctor's instructions carefully.

Taking your dose is not recommended if you plan to lie down for a long time afterward (for example, if you plan on taking a nap).
