Why is Proamatine prescribed?

Proamatine (Midodrine) is prescribed to treat symptomatic orthostatic hypotension, a condition where blood pressure suddenly drops significantly upon standing, resulting in dizziness and fainting. This medication is typically used when other treatments have not been effective and must be taken under careful medical supervision to prevent complications such as supine hypertension, where blood pressure becomes elevated while lying down.

What does it do?

Proamatine (Midodrine) increases blood pressure by stimulating alpha-1 adrenergic receptors, which constrict blood vessels. This helps reduce dizziness and fainting associated with orthostatic hypotension or low blood pressure.

How should I take it?

Proamatine (Midodrine) should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical dose for adults is 10 mg three times daily, and should be taken during the day, with doses spaced at least 3-4 hours apart with or without food. Avoid taking it before bedtime to reduce the risk of high blood pressure while lying down (supine hypertension).

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Proamatine take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed one and continue following your usual schedule. Avoid taking extra or double doses to compensate for the missed dose.
