Phenylephrine is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist used primarily as a decongestant, to increase blood pressure in hypotensive states, and as a mydriatic agent. It is commonly used in over-the-counter cold and allergy medications, and as a vasopressor in clinical settings. It is still approved and widely used today.
