Treatment of arterial hypotension is a complex problem that requires correction of the hemodynamic parameters of the patient and, if possible, an impact on the cause of a decrease in blood pressure. It is necessary to pay attention to the correction of factors aggravating the course of hypotension. It is also important to use non-drug methods of correction of low blood pressure, such as wearing compression underwear, increasing fluid and salt intake, the use of physical maneuvers and exercises. Pharmacological therapy of hypotension includes the use of a number of drugs with different mechanisms of action, such as midodrine, fludcortisone, droxidopa, norepinephrine membrane transporter inhibitors. Special attention is paid to the treatment of orthostatic hypotension, postprandial hypotension.
