Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Theoretically, the coadministration with midodrine may result in decreased clearance of drugs that are primarily eliminated by active tubular secretion such as metformin, cimetidine, ranitidine, procainamide, flecainide, quinidine, and triamterene. The proposed mechanism is competitive inhibition of renal excretion by desglymidodrine, the active metabolite of midodrine. However, clinical data are lacking and no supportive experimental evidence exists. Patients receiving midodrine in combination with drugs that undergo active tubular secretion should be monitored for excessive effects of one or both drugs.
