1The interaction between phenylephrine and debrisoquine was studied using normal and hypertensive human volunteers, measuring blood pressure, pulse rate and pupil diameter. Single doses of phenylephrine were given before, during and after a short course of debrisoquine treatment.2 The circulatory effects of phenylephrine are potentiated by debrisoquine; in a few subjects this potentiation was marked and a potential hazard. 3 Limited deductions could be made about the effects of debrisoquine on baroceptor responses and adrenergic mechanisms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
