Phenylephrine is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist used primarily as a decongestant, to increase blood pressure in hypotensive states such as shock, and as a mydriatic agent for ophthalmic procedures. It is approved for use via various routes including oral, intravenous, and topical administration. Injectable phenylephrine is used in hospital settings for acute hypotension.
Oral administration, healthy fasting adults, single dose. Both males and females (age 18–55 years)
