OBJECTIVE: To discuss the use of midodrine hydrochloride for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension in early tetraplegia. SETTING: Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Texas, USA. METHODS: Presentation of two cases. RESULTS: Midodrine hydrochloride successfully treated two cases of orthostatic hypotension that had been refractory to classic treatment interventions.
