Phenoxybenzamine
別名: Dibenzyline, Dibenyline
Phenoxybenzamine is often prescribed to help your pet urinate more easily by relaxing the muscles of the urinary tract, or to manage high blood pressure associated with certain adrenal tumors. - **Patience is key**: It may take a week or longer to see the full effect on your pet's urination. Do not stop the medication early unless directed by your veterinarian. - **Give with food**: Administering this medication with meals can help reduce stomach upset (nausea or vomiting). - **Watch for low blood pressure**: Because this drug relaxes blood vessels, it can cause a drop in blood pressure. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet appears weak, dizzy, or collapses, especially after standing up. - **Missed doses**: If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember, but never give two doses at once.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

藥物相互作用
- Epinephrine: Epinephrine reversal: If used with drugs that have both alpha- and beta-adrenergic effects, increased hypotension, vasodilation, or tachycardia may result due to unopposed beta effects.
- Phenylephrine: Phenoxybenzamine will antagonize the effects of alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetic agents.
- Reserpine: Phenoxybenzamine can antagonize the hypothermic effects of reserpine.
- Beta-blockers: Increased risk of first dose hypotensive effect; if used for phaeochromocytoma, beta-blockers must only be started after alpha blockade is in place to avoid hypertensive crisis.
- Diuretics: Increased risk of first dose hypotensive effect.
- Alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetics (e.g., phenylephrine): Phenoxybenzamine will antagonize the effects of these agents.
