These rows are manufacturer reports to the FDA for Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsule — they do not necessarily cover every manufacturer that makes this drug. A company appears here only if it told the FDA it has a supply problem, so other makers may still have stock. That’s the basis for the Where else can I get Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsule? options further down this page.
Why is Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsule in shortage?
Advanz Pharma has reported to the FDA that it is permanently stopping the manufacturing of Dibenzyline (phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride) 10 mg capsules. This affects all of their package sizes of this product. They did not share a specific public reason for why they made this decision — just that manufacturing is being discontinued.
It's worth knowing that this report reflects only what Advanz Pharma has filed with the FDA. It does not mean this medication is disappearing from every source — other manufacturers may still produce it and would be listed separately.
Based on the manufacturer-reported reason(s) and notes on file with the FDA for Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsule, summarized in plain English by HelloPharmacist. A drug can be short for more than one reason, and the FDA updates these as manufacturers report changes.
What should I do if I take Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsule?
Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride 10 mg capsules are currently on the FDA shortage list. I want to walk you through what this means so you can plan your next refill with confidence.
The affected strength is the 10 mg capsule, which is the only strength involved. The manufacturer that filed this report, Advanz Pharma (maker of the brand Dibenzyline), lists this strength as being discontinued, so right now there is no reported supply from that company. Because this is a discontinuation rather than a temporary delay, the supply problem from this particular maker may be permanent — which makes a conversation with your prescriber or pharmacist the right next step.
Importantly, this report reflects only one manufacturer. The same medicine, phenoxybenzamine 10 mg capsules, is also listed as available from other makers — including Burel Pharmaceuticals, Amneal, and Novitium — so your pharmacy may still be able to source it, though it may not be in local stock.
Here is what I suggest:
- Do not stop, skip, or change your dose on your own. Keep taking it as prescribed.
- Ask your pharmacy to check wholesalers and these other manufacturers for the 10 mg capsule.
- If it cannot be found, ask your prescriber or pharmacist about a clinician-chosen option.
Manufacturer contact numbers are listed on this page for reference; pharmacies usually handle those calls.
- Don’t stop or change the medication on your own — talk to your prescriber first.
- If this is part of an ongoing or essential regimen (for example HIV treatment or prevention, seizure, heart, transplant, diabetes or mental-health medicines), do not skip or ration doses — contact your pharmacist or prescriber right away to arrange continued supply before you run out.
- Ask your pharmacy to check other manufacturers, strengths, package sizes, and nearby stores.
- Ask your prescriber whether a different strength, formulation, or the brand/generic version is appropriate.

Where else can I get Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsule?
FDA shortages are manufacturer-reported — a company only shows up on the shortage list if it told the FDA it has a supply problem, so not every maker of Phenoxybenzamine Hydrochloride Capsule is necessarily short. Below we pull together the other still-marketed options that are not reported in shortage: the same medicine from manufacturers that haven’t reported a problem, and alternative dosage forms. These may still be out of stock at your pharmacy, and only your prescriber or pharmacist can decide what’s right for you.
