At a glance

Phenylephrine Hydrochloride injection is used for the treatment of clinically important hypotension resulting primarily from vasodilation in the setting of anesthesia. It is an α-1 adrenergic receptor agonist that increases systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Indications
  • Clinically important hypotension resulting from vasodilation during anesthesia
Pharmacology

Phenylephrine is an α-1 adrenergic receptor agonist that increases systolic and diastolic blood pressures, mean arterial pressure, and total peripheral vascular resistance following IV administration. Increased blood pressure leads to increased vagal activity, resulting in reflex bradycardia.
