Droxidopa is a prescription medication used to relieve symptoms of low blood pressure when standing, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, blackouts, and fainting.

How Droxidopa Works

Droxidopa is converted by the body into norepinephrine, a substance that helps maintain blood pressure. When you stand up, norepinephrine causes blood vessels to constrict (narrow), which helps prevent blood from pooling in your legs and maintains adequate blood flow to your brain and other organs.

What Conditions Does Droxidopa Treat?

The FDA approved droxidopa (brand name Northera) for treating neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH) caused by:

• Parkinson’s disease: A neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement and the autonomic nervous system
• Multiple system atrophy: A rare Parkinson’s-like disorder with widespread effects on the brain and body
• Pure autonomic failure: A condition specifically affecting the autonomic nervous system
• Dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency: A rare genetic condition affecting hormone production
• Non-diabetic autonomic neuropathy: Nerve damage affecting automatic body functions

Brand Name vs Generic

Droxidopa is the generic name of the medication. The brand name is Northera, manufactured by Lundbeck. Currently, there is no generic version available in the United States, so all prescriptions are filled with brand-name Northera.

Droxidopa addresses neurogenic orthostatic hypotension by replenishing norepinephrine, the neurotransmitter your body needs to maintain blood pressure when you change positions.

The Mechanism

When you take Northera (droxidopa) orally:

1. The medication is absorbed into your bloodstream
2. An enzyme called dopa-decarboxylase converts droxidopa directly into norepinephrine
3. This enzyme is found throughout your body, so conversion happens both in your blood vessels and in your central nervous system
4. The newly formed norepinephrine acts on blood vessel receptors, causing vasoconstriction
5. This prevents blood from pooling in your legs when you stand
6. Your blood pressure remains adequate to supply your brain and organs

Why This Works for NOH

In neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, your body cannot release enough natural norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve endings. Droxidopa bypasses this problem because it doesn’t require intact nerve function to work—the conversion enzyme is present throughout the body regardless of nerve damage.

Clinical Effects

Studies show droxidopa increases standing blood pressure and reduces symptoms of dizziness, lightheadedness, and feeling about to faint. Most patients who respond to treatment notice improvement within the first week.

Droxidopa comes in capsule form for oral administration.

Available Strengths

Northera (droxidopa) is available in three dosage strengths:

• 100 mg capsules
• 200 mg capsules
• 300 mg capsules

How It’s Taken

Droxidopa capsules are taken by mouth with water. Your doctor will determine the appropriate strength and number of capsules based on your individual needs.

The typical dosing schedule is three times daily:

• Upon arising in the morning
• At midday
• In the late afternoon (at least 3 hours before bedtime)

You should swallow the capsules whole—do not open, crush, or chew them.

Droxidopa dosing is individualized based on your response to treatment and tolerability.

Starting Dose

The recommended starting dose is 100 mg three times daily:

• Upon arising in the morning
• At midday
• In the late afternoon, at least 3 hours before bedtime

Taking the last dose at least 3 hours before lying down helps reduce the risk of high blood pressure while sleeping (supine hypertension).

Dose Titration

If the starting dose doesn’t adequately control your symptoms, your doctor may increase the dose by 100 mg three times daily. This titration typically occurs over several days to weeks based on your response.

Maximum Dose

The FDA-approved maximum dose is 600 mg three times daily, for a total of 1,800 mg per day. Most patients in clinical trials required doses between 300-600 mg three times daily for optimal symptom control.

Taking With or Without Food

Administer Northera consistently—either always with food or always without food. Choose one approach and maintain it, as food may affect absorption.

Taking Northera (droxidopa) correctly ensures both safety and effectiveness.

Basic Instructions

Timing: Take three times daily:

1. Upon arising (when you first wake up)
2. At midday
3. In the late afternoon, at least 3 hours before bedtime

How to take:

• Swallow capsules whole with water
• Do not open, crush, or chew the capsules
• Take consistently with or without food (choose one way and stick with it)

Important Safety Precautions

Elevate the head of your bed: Because droxidopa can cause high blood pressure while lying down, sleep with the head of your bed elevated by 4-6 inches using blocks or a wedge pillow.

Last dose timing: Take your final daily dose at least 3 hours before you plan to lie down for sleep. This allows the medication’s blood pressure-raising effects to diminish before you’re horizontal.

Blood pressure monitoring: Your healthcare provider should monitor your blood pressure regularly in both standing and lying down positions.

If You Miss a Dose

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless:

• It’s close to your next scheduled dose
• It’s within 3 hours of bedtime (for afternoon doses)

Never take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.

Important

Do not stop taking droxidopa without consulting your doctor. Always follow your healthcare provider’s dosing instructions precisely.

Like all medications, Northera (droxidopa) can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them.

Common Side Effects

The most frequently reported side effects in clinical trials include:

• Headache
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Fatigue

These side effects are usually mild and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication.

Serious Side Effects

Supine Hypertension (HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WHILE LYING DOWN):

This is the most serious potential side effect and is significant enough that Northera carries an FDA Black Box Warning. Supine hypertension can increase your risk of cardiovascular events.

Warning signs include:

• Severe headache while lying down
• Blurred vision
• Pounding in your neck or ears
• Chest pain or tightness

To reduce this risk:

• Take your last dose at least 3 hours before bedtime
• Sleep with the head of your bed elevated
• Have your doctor monitor your supine blood pressure regularly

Other serious side effects that require immediate medical attention:

• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Confusion or mental status changes
• Fast, pounding, or irregular heartbeat
• Severe swelling in hands, ankles, or feet

When to Contact Your Doctor

Contact your healthcare provider if you experience side effects that don’t improve, worsen over time, or interfere with your daily activities.

You can report side effects to the FDA at www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

If you miss a dose of Northera (droxidopa), take it as soon as you remember—but only if certain conditions are met.

When to Take a Missed Dose

Take the missed dose if:

• It’s not close to the time for your next scheduled dose
• You still have at least 3 hours before bedtime (for afternoon doses)

When to Skip a Missed Dose

Skip the missed dose entirely if:

• It’s almost time for your next scheduled dose
• It’s within 3 hours of bedtime

Never take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose. Taking a double dose can cause dangerous increases in blood pressure.

Specific Scenarios

Missed morning dose (realized at midday):

• If before your usual midday time: Take the morning dose now, then take midday dose on schedule
• If past your midday time: Skip the morning dose, take midday dose as scheduled

Missed afternoon dose (realized near bedtime):

• Skip this dose—do not take within 3 hours of lying down
• Resume regular schedule the next morning

What to Expect

You may notice a return of NOH symptoms (dizziness, lightheadedness) during the time when that dose would normally be active. Be cautious with activities requiring standing.

If you’ve missed several doses in a row, contact your healthcare provider before resuming treatment.

Tips to Remember Your Doses

• Set phone alarms for each daily dose
• Use a weekly pill organizer
• Link doses to daily activities (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack)
• Keep medication in a visible location

Droxidopa can interact with several types of medications. Some interactions are serious and may require avoiding certain drug combinations, while others just need careful monitoring. Always tell your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you’re taking.

Serious Drug Interactions (Avoid These)

1. Non-Selective MAO Inhibitors

• Examples: Phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate)
• Risk: Dangerous increases in blood pressure (hypertensive crisis)
• Action: These medications should generally not be combined with droxidopa

2. Selective MAO-B Inhibitors

• Examples: Selegiline (Eldepryl, Zelapar), rasagiline (Azilect)
• Note: These are commonly used for Parkinson’s disease. They can be used with droxidopa but require careful monitoring and dose adjustments
• Action: Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure closely if you take these together

Medications Requiring Monitoring

3. Other Blood Pressure-Raising Medications

• Examples: Midodrine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine (found in cold medicines)
• Risk: Additive blood pressure increases; risk of supine hypertension
• Action: Check with your doctor before using over-the-counter cold or allergy medicines

4. Carbidopa and Other Dopa-Decarboxylase Inhibitors

• Examples: Carbidopa (found in Sinemet, Stalevo), benserazide
• Effect: These medications block the enzyme that converts droxidopa to norepinephrine, potentially reducing Northera’s effectiveness
• Action: If you take these for Parkinson’s disease, you may need higher doses of droxidopa. Clinical studies showed droxidopa still provides benefit even in patients taking carbidopa, but the effect may be diminished

5. Tricyclic Antidepressants

• Examples: Amitriptyline, nortriptyline, imipramine
• Effect: May increase norepinephrine levels and blood pressure
• Action: Your doctor may need to adjust doses or monitor blood pressure more frequently

6. Triptans (Migraine Medications)

• Examples: Sumatriptan (Imitrex), rizatriptan (Maxalt), eletriptan (Relpax)
• Effect: May increase blood pressure when combined with droxidopa
• Action: Monitor blood pressure; report severe headaches or blood pressure symptoms

7. Blood Pressure Lowering Medications

• Examples: Beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, calcium channel blockers
• Effect: May counteract the blood pressure-raising effects of droxidopa
• Action: Dose adjustments may be needed for either medication

Over-the-Counter Products to Discuss

• Decongestants (phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine in cold/allergy medicines)
• Diet pills or stimulants (can raise blood pressure)
• St. John’s Wort (herbal supplement that can interact)
• Ephedra or ephedrine supplements

What You Should Do

1. Keep a complete medication list including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements
2. Update your list whenever medications change
3. Share with all providers including doctors, dentists, and pharmacists
4. Ask before starting anything new even “natural” or over-the-counter products
5. Read labels carefully especially on cold/allergy medicines

This is not a complete list of all possible drug interactions. Always consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist about potential interactions with your specific medication regimen.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, it’s essential to discuss Northera (droxidopa) use with your healthcare provider. The safety of droxidopa during pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established.

Pregnancy Considerations

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of droxidopa in pregnant women. Animal reproduction studies have been conducted, but animal studies do not always predict human response.

Important points about pregnancy:

• Tell your doctor immediately if you are pregnant or become pregnant while taking Northera
• Your doctor will weigh the potential benefits against potential risks to you and your baby
• Untreated neurogenic orthostatic hypotension itself poses risks (falls, reduced blood flow to the fetus)
• Your healthcare provider will help determine the best treatment approach for your situation

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known whether droxidopa passes into human breast milk. Because many drugs do pass into breast milk and because of potential adverse effects in nursing infants, you should discuss with your doctor whether to:

• Discontinue nursing
• Discontinue Northera
• Continue both with careful monitoring

The decision should take into account the importance of the medication to your health and well-being.

Planning for Pregnancy

If you’re planning to become pregnant:

• Discuss your medication regimen with your doctor well in advance
• Do not stop taking Northera without medical guidance, as sudden discontinuation could worsen your NOH symptoms and increase fall risk
• Work with your healthcare team to develop a treatment plan that protects both you and your baby

Always inform all healthcare providers (including obstetricians) that you are taking Northera.

Taking too much Northera (droxidopa) can be dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.

Signs of Droxidopa Overdose

Symptoms of taking too much droxidopa may include:

• Severely elevated blood pressure (hypertensive crisis)
• Severe headache
• Blurred vision or visual disturbances
• Pounding in your chest, neck, or ears
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain or tightness
• Confusion or anxiety
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sweating
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat

What to Do Immediately

If you suspect an overdose:

1. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately
2. Call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 for guidance
3. Bring the medication bottle with you to the hospital
4. Tell medical staff exactly how much you took and when

Do not wait to see if symptoms develop. Seek help immediately if you’ve taken more than your prescribed dose.

Emergency Treatment

In case of overdose, treatment is primarily supportive and may include:

• Monitoring of vital signs, especially blood pressure
• Medications to lower dangerously high blood pressure if needed
• IV fluids
• Continuous cardiac monitoring
• Other supportive care as needed

Prevention Tips

To avoid accidental overdose:

• Never take more than your prescribed dose
• Don’t “double up” if you miss a dose
• Use a pill organizer to track daily doses
• Keep medications in original labeled bottles
• Store medications safely away from children and pets
• If you’re confused about dosing, call your pharmacist before taking an extra dose

Yes, certain foods and beverages can interact with Northera (droxidopa), and it’s important to understand these interactions for safe and effective treatment.

Alcohol Interactions

Avoid or limit alcohol while taking Northera. Here’s why:

• Worsens orthostatic hypotension: Alcohol causes blood vessels to dilate (widen), which can worsen low blood pressure symptoms and counteract the effects of droxidopa
• Increases dizziness risk: Both alcohol and NOH can cause dizziness and lightheadedness; combining them significantly increases fall risk
• Impairs judgment: Alcohol may make you less aware of warning signs of low blood pressure
• Dehydration: Alcohol is a diuretic that can worsen dehydration, a contributing factor to orthostatic hypotension

If you choose to drink alcohol, discuss safe limits with your healthcare provider and take extra precautions about standing slowly and staying hydrated.

Food Interactions

Consistency is key: You should take Northera consistently either always with food or always without food. While food doesn’t create dangerous interactions, it may affect how the medication is absorbed.

Caffeine considerations:

• Caffeine may help raise blood pressure and could potentially complement Northera’s effects
• Some doctors recommend drinking coffee with meals for NOH patients
• Discuss caffeine intake with your healthcare provider
• Be consistent with caffeine consumption (don’t suddenly increase or decrease)

Tyramine-containing foods:

If you’re taking droxidopa along with MAO inhibitors (sometimes used for Parkinson’s disease), you may need to avoid foods high in tyramine, such as:

• Aged cheeses
• Cured meats
• Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi)
• Soy sauce and other fermented soy products

Note: This restriction only applies if you’re taking MAO inhibitors along with droxidopa. Ask your doctor if this applies to you.

Salt and Fluid Intake

While not an “interaction,” diet plays an important role in managing NOH:

• Increase salt intake (with doctor’s approval): 6-10 grams per day helps maintain blood volume
• Stay well-hydrated: Drink 2-3 liters of fluid daily
• Eat smaller, frequent meals: Large meals can worsen orthostatic hypotension

Whether you can safely drive or operate machinery while taking Northera (droxidopa) depends on how well the medication controls your symptoms and how you respond to treatment.

Initial Treatment Period

When starting Northera or adjusting doses, use caution with driving and machinery:

• You may still experience dizziness or lightheadedness, especially during dose adjustments
• It can take time to find the optimal dose that controls your symptoms
• Your body needs to adjust to the medication
• Blood pressure changes may cause temporary impairment

Recommendation: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how Northera affects you, particularly during the first few weeks of treatment or after dose changes.

Once Stabilized on Treatment

After you’ve been on a stable dose of Northera and your symptoms are well-controlled, driving and operating machinery are generally safe if:

• Your NOH symptoms are controlled: You’re no longer experiencing significant dizziness, lightheadedness, or near-fainting episodes
• You’re not experiencing side effects: No severe headaches, confusion, or excessive fatigue
• You can stand and move safely: You’re confident in your balance and stability
• You’re alert: No drowsiness or impaired concentration

Important Safety Considerations

Factors that may affect your ability to drive safely:

• Breakthrough symptoms: If NOH symptoms return even while on medication
• Missed doses: Skipping doses can lead to symptom recurrence
• Morning symptoms: NOH is often worse in the morning; consider avoiding driving during peak symptom times
• Post-meal symptoms: Orthostatic hypotension may worsen after eating
• Hot weather: Heat can exacerbate NOH symptoms
• Dehydration: Can worsen symptoms even on medication

What Your Doctor May Consider

Your healthcare provider will evaluate:

• How well Northera controls your symptoms
• Your history of syncope (fainting) or near-syncope episodes
• Whether you experience any side effects that could impair driving
• Your overall stability and fall risk
• Any other medications you’re taking that could affect alertness

Legal Considerations

Some states have laws requiring doctors to report patients with certain medical conditions that might impair driving ability. If you have frequent fainting episodes or uncontrolled symptoms, your doctor may need to discuss driving restrictions with you.

Safety Tips if Approved to Drive

• Take your Northera exactly as prescribed—don’t skip doses
• Avoid driving during peak symptom times (often mornings)
• Stay well-hydrated
• Use physical countermaneuvers if you feel symptoms while driving (pull over safely if needed)
• Keep emergency contact information in your vehicle
• Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet
• Plan routes with rest stops if needed

Bottom line: Always discuss your specific situation with your healthcare provider. They can best assess whether it’s safe for you to drive or operate machinery based on your individual response to Northera.
