About Midodrine Hydrochloride 10 mg

MIDORIGHT 10 contains Midodrine Hydrochloride 10 mg, a potent medication used to treat conditions related to low blood pressure. Midodrine is classified as a vasopressor/antihypotensive agent, which helps in raising blood pressure by constricting (narrowing) the blood vessels. This medication is particularly effective for patients experiencing symptomatic orthostatic hypotension, where blood pressure drops significantly upon standing, causing dizziness or fainting.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Blood Pressure Management: Helps in maintaining adequate blood pressure levels, preventing symptoms like dizziness and fainting.
• Improved Quality of Life: Reduces the occurrence of hypotensive episodes, enhancing daily activities and overall well-being.
• Symptom Relief: Alleviates symptoms associated with orthostatic hypotension, allowing for a more stable and active lifestyle.

How Does It Work?

Midodrine Hydrochloride works by stimulating receptors in the blood vessels, leading to vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels). This action increases blood pressure, counteracting the effects of orthostatic hypotension. The drug specifically targets the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, resulting in the tightening of the blood vessel walls and an increase in peripheral resistance, thereby raising blood pressure.

Directions for Use:

1. Dosage: Follow your healthcare provider's prescription. Typically, the dosage is individualized based on the patient's condition and response to treatment.
2. Administration: Take MIDORIGHT 10 orally with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
3. Timing: It is usually taken during the day, in divided doses. Avoid taking the last dose of the day less than 4 hours before bedtime to reduce the risk of high blood pressure while lying down.
4. Consistency: For optimal results, take the medication at the same times each day.

Side Effects:

Like all medications, MIDORIGHT 10 may cause side effects. Common side effects include:

• Piloerection (goosebumps): A tingling sensation on the scalp.
• Urinary retention: Difficulty in urination.
• Pruritus (itching): Mild to moderate skin itching.
• Paresthesia: Numbness or tingling sensation.
• Supine hypertension: High blood pressure when lying down.
