Xidorin 5 Tablet is taken orally.

Xidorin 5 Tablet contains midodrine (5 mg) which acts on the body through the following mechanisms:

• Alpha 1 Adrenergic Receptor Agonist: Midodrine stimulates the alpha 1 adrenergic receptors found on the smooth muscles of blood vessels.

• Vasoconstriction: By stimulating these receptors, midodrine causes the blood vessels to constrict or narrow.

• Increases Blood Pressure: The constriction of blood vessels leads to an increase in blood pressure, which helps manage the symptoms of orthostatic hypotension.

• Store Xidorin 5 Tablet at room temperature, specifically below 25°C.

• Keep the medicine away from light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• It's essential to store the tablet out of the sight and reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the packaging and ensure you use the medicine before this date.

• Since Xidorin 5 Tablet is used to manage orthostatic hypotension, aim to include more salt in your diet under your doctor's guidance. This can help increase blood volume, further helping to manage low blood pressure.

• Stay hydrated. Adequate fluid intake helps in increasing blood volume, which can support in managing the symptoms of orthostatic hypotension. However, consult with your doctor for personalised advice based on your health condition.
