Dimetofrine

Dimetofrine (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name), also known as dimethophrine or dimetophrine and sold under the brand names Dovida, Pressamina, and Superten, is a medication described as a sympathomimetic, vasoconstrictor, and cardiac stimulant.

[2][3][4] It is said to be similarly or less effective than midodrine in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension and shows substantially lower potency.

[2] Its chemical structure is similar to that of desglymidodrine (3,6-dimethoxy-β-hydroxyphenethylamine), the active metabolite of midodrine.

[5] Dimetofrine remained marketed only in Italy in 2000.
