Please contact your wholesaler or Sandoz Customer Service at 800-525-8747 for ordering information.

Sandoz in conjunction with FDA has initiated temporary importation of phentolamine mesylate injection into the US market to address this shortage. The Sandoz phentolamine mesylate injection 5 mg/mL product contains the same active ingredient, phentolamine mesylate, as the phentolamine mesylate for injection 5 mg vial product approved in the United States. However, there are important differences between the US product and Canadian product that Healthcare providers should be aware of before prescribing and product preparation.
