Description

Phenylephrine 10mg/mL 10x5mL is a medication commonly used as a decongestant to relieve nasal congestion caused by colds, allergies, or sinus infections. It is available in a 10x5mL vial format, containing 10mg of phenylephrine per milliliter. Phenylephrine works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and allowing easier airflow through the nasal cavity.

This solution is typically administered as a nasal spray or oral solution, depending on the specific formulation and indication. It provides rapid relief from symptoms of nasal congestion, offering comfort and easier breathing to patients experiencing upper respiratory conditions. It may also be utilized as a vasopressor in specific medical settings for its ability to increase blood pressure during surgical procedures.

The recommended dosage should be carefully followed, as excessive use of phenylephrine can lead to adverse effects. Potential side effects include dizziness, increased blood pressure, headaches, or nervousness. It is essential to use this medication as prescribed, particularly in individuals with pre-existing conditions like hypertension or heart disease.
