About Rectal Local Vasoconstrictors.

Rectal local vasoconstrictors are a functional class of topical and intrarectal pharmacological agents, recognized under FDA over-the-counter anorectal drug monographs, that stimulate alpha-adrenergic receptors in vascular smooth muscle.

By inducing localized vascular constriction, these agents reduce regional blood flow and transiently diminish vascular engorgement and mucosal edema.

Primarily represented by active ingredients such as phenylephrine, they are clinically indicated for the temporary symptomatic relief of swelling, itching, burning, and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids and related anorectal inflammatory disorders.
