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.
