Indications and Usage

INDICATION AND 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

WARNING 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.
