Hypodrin 5mg Tablet 10 contains midodrine (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Alpha-1 Adrenergic Stimulation: Midodrine is a prodrug that gets converted to its active form called desglymidodrine, which stimulates alpha-1 receptors in blood vessels, causing them to constrict.

• Blood Vessel Constriction: It causes the arteries and veins to narrow, which increases the resistance in the circulatory system and improves blood circulation throughout the body.

• Blood Pressure Elevation: By constricting blood vessels, midodrine raises both systolic and diastolic blood pressure without significantly affecting heart rate, helping maintain adequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs.

• Blood Pooling Prevention: It prevents excessive pooling of blood in the lower extremities when standing up, which helps reduce dizziness and fainting.

• Store at room temperature (below 30°C) in a cool, dry place.

• As Hypodrin 5mg Tablet 10 manages low blood pressure, consuming appropriate amounts of salt can help maintain your blood pressure levels. Speak with your doctor about the right amount for your specific condition.

• When getting up from lying or sitting positions, do so gradually to give your body time to adjust to postural changes and reduce dizziness or lightheadedness.
