About Midgeo 2.5 Tablet 10

Midgeo 2.5 Tablet is used to manage the symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, a condition in which blood pressure drops suddenly on standing, causing dizziness, light-headedness or fainting.

It belongs to a group of medicines known as alpha-adrenergic agonists, which work by narrowing blood vessels to help maintain blood pressure when you stand up. Take it as prescribed, generally during the day when you are upright and active. Avoid taking it close to bedtime, as lying flat afterwards can raise blood pressure too much.

Rising slowly from sitting or lying positions, staying well hydrated, wearing compression stockings and avoiding prolonged standing can further help reduce dizziness and fainting episodes alongside this medicine.

Before starting, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney problems or difficulty passing urine. Report any severe headache, a very slow heartbeat, or trouble passing urine while taking this medicine, and avoid lying down for a few hours after each dose.
