Midodrine, also known as 3,6-dimethoxy-β-hydroxy-N-aminoethanonyl-2-phenylethylamine, is a substituted phenethylamine derivative. [4] Midodrine is an odorless, white, crystalline powder, soluble in water and sparingly soluble in methanol. [19] Midodrine's experimental log P is -0.5 and its predicted log P ranges from -0.49 to -0.95.
A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted on clinical trials comparing the clinical use of droxidopa and midodrine have found that midodrine was more likely to cause supine hypertension than droxidopa in patients with NOH. Midodrine was also found to be slightly more effective at raising blood pressure but not statistically significantly ...
Pipamazine (INN; trade names Mornidine, Mometine, Nausidol) is a drug of the phenothiazine class formerly used as an antiemetic.It is chemically related to chlorpromazine, but has negligible antipsychotic activity and produces few extrapyramidal side effects.
Desglymidodrine (developmental code name ST-1059) is the active metabolite of the prodrug antihypotensive agent midodrine. [1] [2] [3] It acts as a selective α 1-adrenergic receptor agonist. [1] [2] [3] Desglymidodrine is formed from midodrine via deglycination. [1] [2] [3]
Treatment: Identify and treat causes (medications, dehydration), midodrine, compression garments, bed tilting: Prognosis: Depends on frequency, severity, and underlying cause; neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is a chronic, debilitating, and often progressively fatal condition [1]
The severity and location of the deformities depended on how many days into the pregnancy the mother was before beginning treatment; thalidomide taken on the 20th day of pregnancy caused central brain damage, day 21 would damage the eyes, day 22 the ears and face, day 24 the arms, and leg damage would occur if taken up to day 28. Thalidomide ...
Pyridoxine/doxylamine, sold under the brand name Diclectin among others, is a combination of pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B 6) and doxylamine succinate.It is generally used for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (morning sickness); even though its efficacy has not been proven and subsequent research has led to the removal of recommendations in medical journals.
Some have proposed that morning sickness may be useful from an evolutionary point of view. [1] Diagnosis should only occur after other possible causes have been ruled out. [3] Abdominal pain, fever, or headaches are typically not present in morning sickness. [1] Morning sickness affects about 70–80% of all pregnant women to some extent.
