Definitions

1. Midodrine, an alpha antagonist, has been used successfully for orthostatic syncope but may cause recumbent hypertension.
2. Use of midodrine is often discontinued due to intolerable side-effects, and it is known to cause supine hypertension (high blood pressure when lying down). (Web site)

Blood-Brain Barrier

1. Midodrine does not cross the blood-brain barrier and it is thus not associated with CNS effects. (Web site)

Patients

1. Most patients on Midodrine also take Florinef (see above). (Web site)

Double-Blind

1. A double-blind, dose-response study of midodrine in neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. (Web site)

Syncope

1. Kaufmann H, Saadia D, Voustianiouk A. Midodrine in neurally mediated syncope: a double-blind, randomized, crossover study. (Web site)

Autonomic Failure

1. Midodrine has no clinically significant effect on standing or supine pulse rates in patients with autonomic failure.
2. Autonomic failure can be treated with salt supplements, florinef, and midodrine. (Web site)

Fludrocortisone

1. Blood pressure must be monitored carefully if therapy with fludrocortisone or midodrine is undertaken. (Web site)

Midodrine

1. Wong F, Pantea L, Sniderman K. Midodrine, octreotide, albumin, and TIPS in selected patients with cirrhosis and type 1 hepatorenal syndrome. (Web site)
2. The symptoms of CAN may be ameliorated with fludrocortisone, clonidine, midodrine, dihydroergotamine or caffeine, octreotide, and β-blockers. (Web site)
3. Some drugs that are used in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension include fludrocortisone (Florinef), erythropoietin and midodrine. (Web site)
