Summary
Syncope is defined as transient loss of consciousness associated with inability to maintain postural tone with rapid and spontaneous recovery. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of sublingual administration of a new medication called CPC on tilt-induced syncope in patients with a history of vasovagal syncope (VVS) or near syncope. 140 participants will be randomized at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Each participant will be in the study for 1 day.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Established diagnosis of typical vasovagal syncope or near syncope
- Age 18-50 years
Exclusion Criteria

- History of hypertension or cardiac arrhythmias
- History of cardiovascular disease or cerebral ischemic events
- Allergic reaction to any of the drug components
- Contraindication to tilt testing
- Any physical or psychological symptom, based on the clinical judgment of the investigators that would make a participant unsuitable for the study
- Any use of a medication(s) based on the clinical judgment of the investigators that would make a participant unsuitable for the study (e.g. fludrocortisone, theophylline, prazosin, doxazosin, terazosin, MAO-inhibitors, pseudoephedrine, decongestant and PDE5 inhibitors).
