Etilefrine is a sympathomimetic amine primarily used as a vasopressor for the treatment of hypotension (low blood pressure), particularly orthostatic hypotension. It acts mainly by stimulating alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors, leading to increased cardiac output and vascular tone. The drug is not widely used today and is approved in a limited number of countries.
