Midodrine 2.5mg (Generic)

Midodrine 2.5mg (Generic) is a medication primarily prescribed for the treatment of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension, a condition where blood pressure drops significantly when standing up, causing dizziness, fainting, or lightheadedness.

This medicine belongs to the class of alpha-adrenergic agonists, which work by stimulating receptors in blood vessels, causing them to constrict and raise blood pressure. By doing so, Midodrine helps improve circulation and reduces symptoms like weakness, fatigue, and dizziness.
