Structured PICO

Does pyridostigmine improve standing BP in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension?

P
Population
Patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (OH)
I
Intervention
Pyridostigmine
O
Outcome
Standing blood pressure (BP)surrogate

Pyridostigmine effectively improves standing blood pressure in neurogenic orthostatic hypotension without the common adverse effect of supine hypertension.

Abstract

Pyridostigmine significantly improves standing BP in patients with OH without worsening supine hypertension. The greatest effect is on diastolic BP, suggesting that the improvement is due to increased total peripheral resistance.
