How to get Northera (droxidopa) Drug for nOH Patient?
The first and foremost step involved in getting Northera (droxidopa) drug for person suffering from neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (neurogenic OH) is to make a visit to your physician and get a prescription because Northera is not available without a proper prescription and also ask your doctor to mention that it’s an appropriate treatment for the patient.
One more thing to be noted before preparing a prescription is that your doctor must determine the symptoms that a nOH (said to be caused due to neurologic disease like Multiple System Atrophy) patient must have, like; dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, shoulder pain, and difficulty in concentrating and also checking your blood pressure. In doing so, if doctor finds any of the above mentioned symptoms and feels that the patient is diagnosed with nOH. Northera is prescribed.
Once decided that patient is found with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension symptoms, a Northera Treatment Form needs to be filled and faxed to the specialty pharmacy. This form serves the initial Northera prescription and must be checked & completed by a licensed doctor only. After completing all these steps a Northera drug is provided for the treatment of nOH patient.
