    Product Description

    Midodrine is a prodrug form of the α1-adrenergic receptor (α1-AR) agonist desglymidodrine (Item No. 35608).1 It is converted to desglymidodrine by enzymatic hydrolysis. Midodrine (5 mg/kg) increases mean arterial pressure (MAP) and decreases heart rate in normotensive rats.2 Formulations containing midodrine have been used in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
