CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Dibenzyline (phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride) is a long-acting,
adrenergic, _alpha_-receptor-blocking
agent, which can produce and maintain "chemical sympathectomy" by oral
administration. It increases
blood flow to the skin, mucosa and abdominal viscera, and lowers both
supine and erect blood
pressures. It has no effect on the parasympathetic system.
Twenty to 30 percent of orally administered phenoxybenzamine appears
to be absorbed in the active
form.¹
The half-life of orally administered phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride is
not known; however, the half-
life of intravenously administered drug is approximately 24 hours.
Demonstrable effects with
intravenous administration persist for at least 3 to 4 days, and the
effects of daily administration are
cumulative for nearly a week.¹
INDICATION AND USAGE
Dibenzyline is 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.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Conditions where a fall in blood pressure may be undesirable;
hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its
components.
WARNING
