Hypotension
Hypotension is a blood pressure reading below 90/60mmHg. It does not always cause symptoms, but when it does, recurring lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting may need medical attention.
Key points
- Hypotension can cause dizziness or fainting when blood pressure drops suddenly, such as after standing up.
- Blood pressure that stays low may be managed with medicines that help the body retain fluid or tighten blood vessels.
The listed product, Gutron, is a tablet that contains Midodrine, which belongs to a class of medicines that raise blood pressure. It is listed for hypotension in adults.
