Hi. Phenylephrine HCl is intended for the maintenance of blood pressure during anesthesia and for the treatment of different conditions including hypersensitivity to drugs. At therapeutic doses, Phenylephrine HCl has mainly post-synaptic alpha-adrenergic effects. The drug cause peripheral vasoconstriction with resultant increase in blood pressures with small decreases in cardiac output.
