Droxidopa vs midodrine

The RR for supine hypertension was significantly greater for midodrine, but not droxidopa, when compared with placebo (droxidopa RR = 1.4 [95% CrI = 0.7-2.7] and midodrine RR = 5.1 [95% CrI = 1.6-24]). Conclusion and Relevance: In patients with NOH, both droxidopa and midodrine significantly increase sSBP, the latter to a greater extent

However, with the addition of droxidopa, this was avoided, and the patient was weaned off IV vasopressors on dual oral therapy with midodrine and droxidopa. Droxidopa may be a viable enteral therapy to treat hypotension in patients after acute SCI who are otherwise not tolerating midodrine in order to wean off IV vasopressors.

Pharmacologic management focuses on the use of sympathomimetic agents, such as midodrine and droxidopa. Midodrine is FDA approved for the

Both medications have a fast pressor effect beginning approximately 1 hour after oral administration (green arrows). The pressor effect of midodrine remains for 4 to 5 hours, whereas the
