Tetryzoline (also known as tetrahydrozoline) is an imidazoline derivative acting as an alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist, primarily used as a topical decongestant in ophthalmic (eye drop) and nasal preparations for relief of redness or nasal congestion. It is still an approved medication in many countries.
No peer-reviewed human pharmacokinetic models or clinical PK parameter studies are published for tetryzoline. The following are rough estimates based on known drug class properties (topical ocular/nasal imidazoline alpha agonists) and limited animal/toxicological data.
