GUTRON(MIDODRINE BY BLUEMED MARKETED BY CIPLA)

Indicated in adults for the treatment of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension due to autonomic dysfunction when corrective factors have been ruled out, and other forms of treatment are inadequate.
 
Composition
Active Ingredient: Midodrine hydrochloride, 2.5 mg
Dosage form
Midodrine hydrochloride, 2.5 mg
 
NOTE: Because Midodrine hydrochloride can cause marked elevation of supine blood pressure; it should be used in patients whose lives are considerably impaired despite standard clinical care. The indication for use of Midodrine hydrochloride in the treatment of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension is based primarily on a change in a surrogate marker of effectiveness, an increase in systolic blood pressure measured one minute after standing, a surrogate marker considered likely to correspond to a clinical benefit. At present, however, clinical benefits of Midodrine hydrochloride, principally improved ability to carry out activities of daily living, have not been verified.
