Overview Aladrine Tablet

Aladrine tablets are indicated for the management of hypotension. They're prescribed for individuals experiencing orthostatic dizziness—lightheadedness upon standing after prolonged sitting or lying. The medication achieves its therapeutic effect by vasoconstriction, thereby raising blood pressure. Aladrine may be administered with or without food, ideally during daytime hours when postural changes are most frequent. However, avoid taking it before extended periods of recumbence. Always adhere to your physician's prescribed dosage and refrain from discontinuing treatment without medical consultation. Regular blood pressure monitoring is essential during therapy. Potential adverse effects encompass headache, nausea, skin rash, urinary retention, dysuria, and flushing. Supine hypertension (elevated blood pressure while lying down) is also a possibility. Report any bothersome side effects to your doctor immediately. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any pre-existing hepatic or renal conditions to your healthcare provider. Similar consultation is necessary for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. Comprehensive disclosure of all concurrent medications is crucial. Your doctor may order kidney and liver function tests before and throughout treatment.

Aladrine Tablet can raise blood pressure when lying down (supine hypertension). It's only suitable for individuals whose low blood pressure significantly impacts their daily activities and who haven't responded to other treatments.
Aladrine Tablet may cause a mild decrease in heart rate. Concurrent use with other heart rate-slowing medications, such as beta-blockers and digitalis, requires caution and close monitoring for symptoms of bradycardia.
Avoid lying down immediately after taking Aladrine; supine hypertension (high blood pressure while lying flat) is a risk. To minimize this, take your final dose at least four hours before sleep. Elevating your head at night can further reduce this risk.
Aladrine Tablet's effects become noticeable within an hour, though the duration is brief, lasting only 2-3 hours.
