Phenylephrine, used as a nasal decongestant, is often combined with other agents (such as antihistamines or analgesics) to treat symptoms of common cold or allergic rhinitis. It acts as a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist, leading to vasoconstriction and reduction of nasal congestion. Oral combination preparations are still approved and available today.

Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetic estimates for healthy adult volunteers after oral administration of combination phenylephrine tablets (e.g., co-administered with antihistamines or paracetamol).
