Zaxyben 50mg Injection

Zaxyben 50mg Injection 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.
