Fenoxene Injection 1ml

Fenoxene Injection 1ml belongs to a group of medicines called antihypertensives used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) caused by phaeochromocytoma (tumour of the adrenal glands). Hypertension is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is very high. It will be an addition to the workload of the heart and arteries.

Fenoxene Injection 1ml contains Phenoxybenzamine, an alpha-blocker that opposes certain hormones produced by the tumour of the adrenal gland that constricts and narrows blood vessels. Thereby, it relaxes and widens blood vessels and lowers increased blood pressure.

Fenoxene Injection 1ml will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, blocked nose, diarrhoea, tiredness, narrowing of the pupil of the eye or ejaculation failure during intercourse. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Fenoxene Injection 1ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Fenoxene Injection 1ml is not recommended for children unless advised by a doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor. Avoid taking Fenoxene Injection 1ml if you ever had a heart attack or stroke. You are recommended to avoid alcohol consumption with Fenoxene Injection 1ml as it may increase the risk of dangerously low blood pressure. Drive only if you are alert as Fenoxene Injection 1ml may cause dizziness or light-headedness.

• Maintain a low-salt diet and minimize eating processed foods as they contain more sodium. Try to replace salt with spices or herbs to add flavour to the food.
• Do regular exercise such as cycling, walking, jogging, dancing, or swimming for a minimum of 30 minutes per day.
• Chronic stress may also cause high blood pressure. Therefore, avoid stress by changing your expectations, reacting in certain situations, and doing activities that you enjoy by making time for yourself.
• Maintain a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.
• Try to include heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid-containing foods in your daily diet. You can also use low-fat cooking oil like olive oil, soybean oil, canola oil, and coconut oil which may help in lowering high blood pressure.
• Quit smoking and avoid the consumption of alcohol.

• Monitor your blood pressure regularly, and if you notice any fluctuations, please consult a doctor.

Blood pressure is the measurement of the heart's force to pump blood to all parts of the body. Hypertension is a chronic condition in which blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when the blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Normal blood pressure lies in between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg. If the blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or greater, it is considered high blood pressure.
