Actiful Tablet 15 contains midodrine (2.5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor stimulation: Midodrine activates alpha-1 adrenergic receptors located in the blood vessels throughout your body, which causes the blood vessels to constrict or narrow.

• Increased vascular tone: By causing blood vessel constriction, midodrine increases the tone or tension in your blood vessels, which helps raise blood pressure.

• Prevention of blood pooling: This medicine helps prevent excessive blood from collecting in your lower parts when you stand up, which is a primary cause of orthostatic hypotension symptoms.

• Maintenance of blood flow: Through its blood vessel narrowing effects, midodrine helps maintain adequate blood flow to vital organs such as your heart and brain when you change positions.
