PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Phenylephrine is a member of the class of the class of phenylethanolamines that is (1R)-2-(methylamino)-1-phenylethan-1-ol carrying an additional hydroxy substituent at position 3 on the phenyl ring. It has a role as an alpha-adrenergic agonist, a cardiotonic drug, a mydriatic agent, a protective agent, a vasoconstrictor agent, a sympathomimetic agent and a nasal decongestant. It is a member of phenylethanolamines, a secondary amino compound and a member of phenols. It is a conjugate base of a phenylephrine(1+).
