Frequently asked questions
Does Mido-G Tablet raise blood pressure?
Yes, Mido-G Tablet may cause high blood pressure, specifically when lying flat on your back (supine hypertension). This medication should only be used by individuals with low blood pressure that significantly affects their daily life and who have not responded favorably to other treatment options.
Does Mido-G Tablet affect heart rate?
Mido-G Tablet may slow down the heart rate slightly. It should be used cautiously in combination with other medications that can further slow the heart rate, such as beta blockers and digitalis. Patients should be monitored for any signs of a slow heartbeat.
Why should I not lie down immediately after taking Mido-G Tablet?
Lying down directly after taking Mido-G Tablet increases the risk of supine hypertension (high blood pressure when lying flat). Therefore, it is recommended to take the last daily dose at least four hours before bedtime. Elevating the head can reduce the risk of supine hypertension occurring during sleep.
Does Mido-G Tablet work immediately?
Mido-G Tablet takes approximately one hour to show its effect, but its action is short-lived. The effects last for about two to three hours.
How should I take Mido-G Tablet?
Mido-G Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken orally with or without food, and you should swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water. Usually, it is advised to take the medication three times a day (morning, midday, and late afternoon [before 6PM]) with a gap of at least three hours. The last daily dose of Mido-G Tablet should be taken before an evening meal and at least four hours before bedtime.
Who should not take Mido-G Tablet?
Mido-G Tablet is not recommended for individuals with allergies to any component of the product, severe heart disease, unusually slow heart rate, high blood pressure, or conditions causing artery narrowing. Additionally, treatment with Mido-G Tablet should be avoided in patients with an enlarged prostate gland, urinary retention (inability to empty the bladder), pheochromocytoma (tumor of the adrenal medulla), acute or severe kidney disease, hyperactive thyroid, poor vision due to diabetes, and narrow-angle glaucoma (elevated pressure in the eye).
Is monitoring required during Mido-G Tablet treatment?
Before starting Mido-G Tablet treatment, you may need a check of your blood pressure and kidney and liver function tests. During the treatment, it is crucial to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate, especially after lying down.
How will I know if I have developed supine hypertension?
Symptoms of supine hypertension include chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, headaches, and blurred vision. If you experience these symptoms, inform your doctor immediately. The doctor may reduce the dose of Mido-G Tablet or discontinue treatment if the symptoms persist.
Can I take metoprolol with Mido-G Tablet?
Taking Mido-G Tablet and metoprolol together can significantly slow down your heart rate. Therefore, it is crucial to use them carefully. If you experience dizziness, fainting, or a slow pulse after taking both medications, inform your doctor as the dosage of these medicines may need to be adjusted.
