Phenylephrine is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor agonist commonly used as a mydriatic (to dilate the pupil) and decongestant, often in combination with other agents for ophthalmic use. The ATC code S01GA55 corresponds to combinations containing phenylephrine for ophthalmic application. It is approved and still used in clinical ophthalmology.
No published pharmacokinetic studies were found specifically for ophthalmic phenylephrine-containing combinations (ATC S01GA55) in humans. Thus, pharmacokinetic parameters are estimated based on known properties of topical phenylephrine in adults.
