Description

Phenylephrine is a direct-acting sympathomimetic drug that can act as a mydriatic agent, as a nasal decongestant, and has vasoconstrictor properties. Phenylephrine is present in various over-the-counter (OTC) medicines. Phenylephrine reduces nasal swelling and treats hypotension; its tendency to contract the blood vessel produces these effects. It is also used as a mydriatic agent. It can also be prescribed for priapism (a condition related to the prolonged and painful erection of the penis) as phenylephrine constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow, thus relieving this painful condition.
