Drug Interaction Report

Treatment with droxidopa can cause a condition known as supine hypertension, which is high blood pressure while lying down. Combining droxidopa with other medications that can raise blood pressure can increase the risk. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. You should elevate the head of the bed when resting or sleeping to reduce the risk of supine hypertension. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
