Abstract

Novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising desglymidodrine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active drug substance. Desglymidodrine is the active metabolite of the prodrug midodrine. The pharmaceutical composition may be presented in a suitable dosage form for oral, parenteral, mucosal, nasal, sublingual, buccal, topical, vaginal, rectalor ocular etc. administration. A pharmaceutical composition of the invention may be in the form of an immediate and/or modified release composition or it may be designed to release the active drug substance, desglymidodrine, in a relatively fast manner in order to enable a relatively fast onset of the therapeutic effect. The compositions have a suitable shelf-life, i.e. the desglymidodrine contained in the composition is not subject to a significant degradation under storage conditions normally acceptable for pharmaceuticals. Also disclosed is a method for treating animals such as, e.g. mammals and humans with a novel pharmaceutical composition comprising desglymidodrine. Furthermore, is disclosed a novel use of desglymidodrine in the treatment of septic shock and to a method for treating mammals (e.g. humans) suffering from septic shock with a sufficient amount of desglymidodrine
