FAQs:

Does Midocent Tablet raise blood pressure?

Affirmative, Midocent Tablet may cause high blood pressure when you are lying flat on your back (supine hypertension). This medicine should only be used by people whose low blood pressure affects their day-to-day lives and in people who cannot be treated successfully with other therapies.

Does Midocent Tablet affect heart rate?

Midocent Tablet may slow down the heart rate slightly. It should be used cautiously when used with other medicines (beta blockers, digitalis, etc.), which can further slow down the heart rate. Tolerants should be monitored if they experience symptoms that are suggestive of a slow heart rate.

Why can't I lie down after taking Midocent Tablet?

You should not lie down immediately after taking Midocent Tablet because of the risk of supine hypertension (high blood pressure, which occurs when you are lying flat on your back). Therefore, it is recommended to take the last daily dose at least 4 hours before bedtime. To lower the chance of high blood pressure while lying down at night, try keeping your head raised.

Does Midocent Tablet work immediately?

Midocent Tablet takes about 1 hour to show its effects. However, the action lasts for a short time only, the effect persists for about 2-3 hours.

How do I take Midocent Tablet?

Midocent Tablet should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. Midocent Tablet is taken orally with or without food. Swallow Midocent Tablet as a whole with a glass of water. Usually, it is advised to take the medicine three times a day [morning, midday, and late afternoon (before 6 pm)] with a gap of at least 3 hours. Take the last daily dose of Midocent Tablet before an evening meal and at least 4 hours before bedtime.

Who should not take Midocent Tablet?

Midocent Tablet is not advised for patients having an allergy to any component of the product, severe heart disease, unusually slow heart rate, high blood pressure, or conditions causing tightening of the arteries. Along with that, treatment with Midocent Tablet should be avoided if the patient has an enlarged prostate gland, urinary retention (when the bladder can’t empty properly), pheochromocytoma (tumor of the adrenal medulla), acute or severe kidney disease, overactive thyroid, poor vision as a result of diabetes, and narrow-angle glaucoma (elevated pressure in the eye).

Is any monitoring required during Midocent Tablet treatment?

You may need to check your blood pressure and get your kidney and liver function tests done before you start taking Midocent Tablet. Once you begin the treatment, keep a constant track of your blood pressure and heart rate, especially after lying down.

How will I know that I have developed supine hypertension?

Symptoms of supine hypertension include chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, headache, and blurred vision. If you develop these symptoms, tell your doctor immediately. The doctor may reduce the dose of Midocent Tablet or may discontinue treatment if the symptoms persist.

Can I take metoprolol with Midocent Tablet?
