Frequently asked questions

How do I take Midodrine?

Take Midodrine as prescribed by your doctor, orally with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water, usually three times a day (morning, midday, late afternoon before 6 PM), with at least 3 hours between doses. The last dose should be taken before an evening meal and at least 4 hours before bedtime.

Who should not take Midodrine?

Midodrine is contraindicated in individuals with allergies to its components, severe heart disease, bradycardia, hypertension, and conditions that cause arterial constriction. It should also be avoided in patients with enlarged prostate, urinary retention, pheochromocytoma, severe kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetic vision problems, and narrow-angle glaucoma.

Does Midodrine work immediately?

Midodrine typically takes about 1 hour to take effect, but its action lasts only 2-3 hours.

Does Midodrine affect heart rate?

Midodrine may slightly slow heart rate. Caution is advised when used with other medications (e.g., beta blockers, digitalis) that can further reduce heart rate. Patients should be monitored for symptoms of bradycardia.

Does Midodrine raise blood pressure?

Yes, Midodrine may cause high blood pressure when lying flat (supine hypertension). It should only be used by individuals whose low blood pressure impacts daily life and who have not responded to other treatments.

Can I take metoprolol with Midodrine?

Combining Midodrine and metoprolol can significantly slow heart rate. Use caution and inform your doctor if you experience slow pulse, dizziness, or fainting, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.

Why can't I lie down after taking Midodrine?

You should avoid lying down immediately after taking Midodrine due to the risk of supine hypertension. It is recommended to take the last daily dose at least 4 hours before bedtime and consider elevating your head to reduce nighttime risks.

Is any monitoring required during Midodrine treatment?

Prior to starting Midodrine, blood pressure and kidney and liver function tests may be necessary. During treatment, consistently monitor blood pressure and heart rate, especially after lying down.

How will I know that I have developed supine hypertension?

Symptoms of supine hypertension include chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, headache, and blurred vision. If you experience these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately, as they may adjust your Midodrine dosage or discontinue treatment.
