Abstract
Methoxamine is an alpha-adrenergic drug, its unique pharmacokinetics and me chanism of action on alpha-1 receptors lead to consider it, similarly to ph enylephrine, as a first-choice drug for treating drug-induced or veno-occlu sive priapism. The experience obtained with its use in the management of th ree cases of priapism lasting over 7 h and one case of sustained rigid erec tion caused during anesthetic induction are reported.
