Use
Hydroxyamphetamine is an effective,indirect-acting sympathomimetic drug. It differs from amphetaminein the presence of p-OH group and so it has littleor no CNS-stimulating action. It is used to dilate the pupilfor diagnostic eye examinations and for surgical procedureson the eye. It is sometimes used with cholinergic blockingdrugs like atropine to produce a mydriatic effect, which ismore pronounced than that produced by either drug alone.
