Stuffy nose and orthostatic hypotension following sympathectomy
3. Dibenzyline (Smith, Kline & French Labs.): - is a congener of dibenamine in the p-alkylamine family. It is capable of producing a chemical sympathectomy by oral administration. The drug was started usually with two capsules of 10 mg. each on the first day and was daily increased by 20 mg. till the effect of adrenergic blockade viz. stuffy nose and slight orthostatic hypotension appeared, after which the patient was maintained on that very dosage for the rest of the period he was under observation. Medication should begin at a low level as some individuals show postural changes with as little as 20 mgs. of dibenzyline.
