Oral phentolamine is no longer available in the US or the UK but it is used in some countries as a treatment for erectile dysfunction. I think oral phentolamine is available in Mexico and Brazil. IV phentolamine (Regitine) is still available in the UK for the treatment of hypertensive crises.
Has anyone been given oral phentolamine for use in case of a hypertensive crisis?
