Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know droxidopa treats dizziness, lightheadedness, or near-fainting caused by neurogenic orthostatic hypotension.
- I know it raises norepinephrine to help keep my blood pressure from dropping too much when I stand.
- I tell my care team about heart disease, abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, or kidney disease.
- I know droxidopa can cause dangerously high blood pressure when I lie down.
