Midodrine is commonly used to treat postural hypotension, which occurs when there is a sudden drop in blood pressure when moving from a sitting or lying position to standing. Midodrine helps improve the quality of life for people with postural hypotension, especially the elderly. Midodrine is used to treat individuals with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease or diabetes. These diseases can lead to problems regulating blood pressure due to nerve damage, so neurologists are asked to use
midodrine as an adjunctive treatment to improve symptoms associated with low blood pressure.
