Proamatine Patient, Information, Instructions - Midodrine

PATIENT INFORMATION

Patients should be told that certain agents in over-the-counter products, such as cold remedies and diet aids, can elevate blood pressure, and therefore, should be used cautiously with ProAmatine®, as they may enhance or potentiate the pressor effects of ProAmatine® (see DRUG INTERACTIONS). Patients should also be made aware of the possibility of supine hypertension. They should be told to avoid taking their dose if they are to be supine for any length of time, i.e., they should take their last daily dose of ProAmatine® 3 to 4 hours before bedtime to minimize nighttime supine hypertension.
