You should not lie down immediately after taking Midodrive Tablet because of the risk of supine hypertension (high blood pressure which occurs when you are lying flat on your back). Therefore, it is recommended to take the last daily dose at least 4 hours before bedtime. You can reduce the risk of supine hypertension occurring during the night by elevating the head.
