Does Anyone Here Take Generic Midodrine? How Should I 'switch Over'


Recommended Posts

My mail-order pharmacy for my insurance no longer carries name-brand Midodinre (ProAmatine). There's not much I can do - they say they aren't carrying it.

I'm now stuck with a 90-day supply of the 10mg (I take 10mg in the AM, 5mg at lunch, sometimes 5mg at evening).

I still have some 5mg pills (Brand).

Is it safe to take the Generic in the morning (10mg pills) and the Brand at lunch/evening (5mg pills)?

What should I do about switching from Brand to Generic? Midodrine seems to be sensitive as it deals with regulating our BP, etc. and I'm worried it's going to cause side effects/issues with my BP/symptoms. I do need it in the mornings to make it to work, so this is stressful.

I can't 'dump' an expensive 90-day supply. I'm also not thrilled it's made in China. Grrrr.

Thanks!
