Demser active ingredients

Demser contains metyrosine as the active ingredient. It is classed as a tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor. Metyrosine prevents the tumor from making certain natural substances (catecholamines) that increase blood pressure and heart rate. Lowering the amount of catecholamines reduces the risk of hypertensive crisis (a very serious attack of high blood pressure).
