Description

Phenylephrine 10 mg/mL in 25 Single-Dose Vials (SDV) is a potent vasoconstrictor used primarily to raise blood pressure in patients experiencing hypotension, particularly in surgical and critical care settings. As an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine acts by constricting blood vessels, which increases peripheral vascular resistance and subsequently elevates blood pressure.

Each single-dose vial contains a sterile solution of phenylephrine hydrochloride, intended for intravenous administration to ensure rapid onset of action. This formulation is crucial for maintaining hemodynamic stability during surgeries, where precise control of blood pressure is vital for patient safety.

Healthcare providers administer phenylephrine cautiously, adjusting dosage based on the patient's response and monitoring for adverse effects such as hypertension, reflex bradycardia, and tissue necrosis if extravasation occurs. Proper handling and administration techniques are essential to prevent inadvertent overdosing or vascular complications.

Phenylephrine SDVs are packaged for single-use, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring dosage accuracy. They are stored under controlled conditions to maintain potency and sterility until the time of use, supporting effective management of acute hypotensive episodes in clinical practice.
