Metaraminol is a sympathomimetic amine used clinically as a vasopressor agent to treat acute hypotensive states, such as those occurring during anesthesia. It acts primarily by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors to induce vasoconstriction and raise blood pressure. Metaraminol is approved for use in some countries, but its use has decreased due to alternative agents.
