CIPMIDO 2.5MG TAB

Description

CIPMIDO 2.5 mg Tablet, manufactured by Cipla Ltd., is a medication containing Midodrine Hydrochloride, an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist. It works by stimulating receptors on blood vessels, causing them to constrict, thereby increasing blood pressure.

Indications:

• Orthostatic Hypotension (also known as postural hypotension): A condition where blood pressure falls significantly upon standing, leading to dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.

Dosage:

• Typically, one tablet (2.5 mg) is taken three times a day, with doses spaced at least 3 hours apart.

• The last dose should be taken at least 4 hours before bedtime to minimize the risk of supine hypertension (increased blood pressure while lying down).

Side Effects:

• Common:

  • Headache

  • Nausea

  • Flushing

  • Goosebumps

  • Difficulty or pain during urination

  • Increased blood pressure when lying down (supine hypertension)

• Serious:

  • Chest pain

  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat

  • Blurred vision

  • Shortness of breath

  • Signs of liver problems (e.g., dark urine, jaundice)

Precautions:

• Use with caution in individuals with heart disease, kidney impairment, liver disease, or thyroid disorders.

• Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed by a doctor.

• Avoid lying down immediately after taking the medication to prevent supine hypertension.

• Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised during treatment.
