The Details
Phenylephrine is an alpha-adrenergic agonist used as a first-line treatment for ischemic priapism. It works by constricting blood vessels in the penis, reducing blood flow to the erectile tissue, and allowing the erection to resolve. It’s administered via intracavernosal injection in clinical settings as part of emergency management.
