A member asked:
Whats the difference between the vasoconstrictor effects of nicotine and midodrine? nicotine makes my hypotension better midorome makes me worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different mechanisms: They work on different receptors but midorome worsening your hypotension is unexpected. Have you talked to your doctor about this? If not, it is time. I also hope that you are not getting the nicotine from smoking.
