DRUG INFO
Phenylpropanolamine
Drug Name:
Phenylpropanolamine
Indication: For the treatment of nasal congestion, control of urinary incontinence, priapism and obesity
Pharmacology: Phenylpropanolamine (PPA), a sympathomimetic agent structurally similar to pseudoephedrine, is used to treat nasal congestion. Phenylpropanolamine is found in appetite suppressant formulations and with guaifenesinin in cough-cold formulations.
Mechanism Of Action: Phenylpropanolamine acts directly on alpha- and, to a lesser degree, beta-adrenergic receptors in the mucosa of the respiratory tract. Stimulation of alpha-adrenergic receptors produces vasoconstriction, reduces tissue hyperemia, edema, and nasal congestion, and increases nasal airway patency. PPA indirectly stimulates beta-receptors, producing tachycardia and a positive inotropic effect.
Drug Category: Adrenergic alpha-Agonists; Appetite Depressants; Nasal Decongestants; ATC:R01BA01; Sympathomimetics
