Cyclopentamine is a sympathomimetic agent previously used as a nasal decongestant. It acts mainly as an alpha-adrenergic agonist, causing vasoconstriction of nasal mucosa. It is no longer widely used or approved in most countries today due to the availability of more effective and safer alternatives.
No published human pharmacokinetic data are available for cyclopentamine. The following parameters are estimated based on related sympathomimetic amines such as ephedrine and phenylephrine, assuming typical adult usage and oral administration.
