What is Phentolamine Mesylate?
Phentolamine Mesylate is a non-selective alpha-adrenergic antagonist used for the prevention or control of hypertensive episodes associated with pheochromocytoma. It works by blocking alpha-receptors, leading to vasodilation and a decrease in blood pressure. Additionally, it is administered in diagnostic tests for pheochromocytoma and to treat dermal necrosis resulting from norepinephrine extravasation.Side Effects
