About Tesmido 2.5 Tablet 10's

Tesmido 2.5 Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines called antihypotensives, which are used to treat low blood pressure (hypotension). Low blood pressure is when blood flow drops below normal, which can cause dizziness, weakness, fainting, and increase the risk of falls.

Tesmido 2.5 Tablet 10's contains midodrine hydrochloride, which works on blood vessels through the nervous system to improve blood flow. This helps relieve symptoms like dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, and weakness when sitting or standing up.

Most of these side effects of Tesmido 2.5 Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Tesmido 2.5 Tablet 10's is contraindicated in patients with severe organic heart disease, congestive heart failure, thyrotoxicosis, phaeochromocytoma, acute renal disease, severe renal insufficiency, urinary retention, narrow-angle glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, or known hypersensitivity to any component of the product.
