Phenylephrine is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist used primarily as a decongestant as an agent to dilate the pupil and to increase blood pressure. Phenylephrine is marketed as a substitute for the decongestant pseudoephedrine though clinical studies differ regarding its effectiveness in this role.
