The following information is provided for general information purposes ONLY.

Introduction of Phenylephrine

Phenylephrine is a decongestant. It works by constricting (shrinking) blood vessels (veins and arteries). Constriction of blood vessels in the sinuses, nose, and chest allows drainage of these areas, which decreases congestion. Constriction of blood vessels also affects blood pressure.

When taken by mouth, phenylephrine is used to treat congestion associated with allergies, hay fever, sinus irritation, and the common cold. When used by injection, phenylephrine is used to maintain adequate blood pressure and to treat certain types of irregular heartbeats.
