Product Introduction
Fenoxene 10mg capsule contains the active component Phenoxybenzamine. It is a medication primarily used to treat pheochromocytoma, a rare tumour that typically develops in the adrenal glands. This helps to lower blood pressure, which is a critical factor in managing the symptoms of pheochromocytoma. This medication relieves the symptoms of this tumour, such as severe hypertension, rapid heart rate, sweating, headache, and anxiety. In cases where surgical removal of the tumour is not immediately possible, or if it is metastatic, it can be used for long-term management. The decision to use this medication should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.
Patients with hypersensitivity to Phenoxybenzamine or the components of this capsule should not use this medication. Before starting this medication, it is important to inform the healthcare provider about any known allergies or hypersensitivities.

It should not be taken in patients with peptic ulcer disease as it could aggravate peptic ulcers or other gastrointestinal conditions. It is generally not recommended for use in children due to limited study. Older patients may be more sensitive to the effects of Fenoxene 10mg capsule, such as postural hypotension and dizziness.
