What does Diazoxide treat?

Diazoxide (Diazoxide) is a drug. Oral diazoxide is indicated for the control of hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinemia associated with inoperable islet cell adenoma or carcinoma in adults, extrapancreatic malignancies, or leucine sensitivity, islet cell hyperplasia, islet cell hyperplasia, extrapancreatic malignancies, islet cell adenomas, and adenomas in infants and children. Infants and children can be given oral diazoxide as a temporary measure before surgery and if hypoglycemia persists after surgery. Diazoxide may also be used parenterally or intravenously to treat hypertensive emergencies.
