Phenylephrine is a selective alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist used as a decongestant, to increase blood pressure in hypotensive states, and as a mydriatic agent for ophthalmic use. In ophthalmology (ATC code S01FB01), it is topically applied to dilate the pupil for diagnostic or surgical procedures. It is approved and widely used in clinical practice.
