Description

Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg/mL, supplied in a single-dose vial (SDV) with each vial containing 1 mL of solution, is a potent vasoconstrictor used in various medical settings. This medication acts primarily by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in blood vessels, resulting in constriction and increased vascular resistance. It is commonly employed to raise blood pressure in cases of hypotension, as well as to reduce mucosal edema in the nasal passages.

The concentration of 10 mg/mL allows for precise dosing adjustments based on patient needs and clinical indications. Phenylephrine's rapid onset of action and short duration make it suitable for acute management of hypotension during surgical procedures, shock states, or anesthesia-induced hypotension. Its effects on vascular tone help stabilize blood pressure and improve perfusion to vital organs, ensuring hemodynamic stability.

Each single-dose vial is designed for sterile and single-patient use, maintaining integrity and minimizing the risk of contamination. Healthcare professionals administer Phenylephrine HCl under controlled conditions, monitoring patient response closely to manage potential side effects such as hypertension, reflex bradycardia, or tissue necrosis at injection sites.
