Guest Anne L Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Has anyone else read about the new med for NH that doesn't cause hypertension? I don't know where I saw it and don't remember its name.Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukkychrm42 Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Could you be thinking of Mestinon? It's supposed to keep BP elevated without causing supine hypertension like midodrine can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yes, there is some research on mestinon, which previously was used mostly to treat Myasthenia Gravis. You can find listings of meds that have shown some usefulness with autonomic issues on the main dinet site at http://www.dinet.orgthen look in the left margin for the link to "what helps" - which is an overview of Rx and non Rx treatments which research supports as effective.nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
