Can I take % intravenous infusion - carelide and Midodrine together?

Why this happens

Both substances work to increase blood pressure but in different ways. Midodrine constricts blood vessels, while intravenous fluids (like Carelide) increase the volume of fluid in your circulation. Together, they can cause the blood pressure to rise much higher than intended.

This combination should only be used under strict medical supervision, usually in a hospital setting. Your blood pressure must be monitored frequently. If you are at home and have been prescribed both, contact your doctor immediately. Avoid taking midodrine just before lying down for long periods.
