Indications and Usage

INDICATIONS & USAGE Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsules are indicated in the treatment of pheochromocytoma, to control episodes of hypertension and sweating. If tachycardia is excessive, it may be necessary to use a beta -blocking agent concomitantly.

Warnings

WARNINGS Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride-induced alpha -adrenergic blockade leaves beta -adrenergic receptors unopposed. Compounds that stimulate both types of receptors may, therefore, produce an exaggerated hypotensive response and tachycardia.
