What is Phenylephrine bitartrate?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Phenylephrine Bitartrate is the bitartrate salt form of phenylephrine, a direct-acting sympathomimetic amine chemically related to adrenaline and ephedrine with potent vasoconstricting activity. Phenylephrine is a post-synaptic alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist that causes vasoconstriction, increases systolic/diastolic pressures, reflex bradycardia, and increases stroke output.
