On the other hand, the FDA classified moxisylyte for the reversal of phenylephrine-induced mydriasis in patients who have narrow anterior angles and are at risk of developing an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma.
[L1172]
Closed-angle glaucoma is caused by the contact between the iris and the trabecular meshwork. This contact will damage the aqueous outflow by the meshwork thus, increasing eye pressure and producing the symptoms of glaucoma.
[A31645]
Moxisylyte is also approved in France as the first drug for the treatment of impotence.

[L1174]
Its pharmacokinetic profile is linear in the dose range from 10 to 30 mg for the values of Cmax and AUC.
[A31647]
After intravenous administration, the maximal plasma concentration was of 352.8 ng/ml with an AUC of 152.6 mcg h/L.
[A31650]
In preclinical trials, the bioavailability was always presented in approximately 10%.

[A31647][L1178]
This first metabolite is later demethylated by the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system to form deacetyl-demethyl-thymoxamine.
[L1178]
Both of this major metabolites are pharmacologically active. The pharmacokinetic studies with moxisylyte in urine and feces have shown the presence of 8 different metabolites, where two of them are highly polar and resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis. From this metabolites, it has been detected the sulfate and glucuronide conjugates of the major metabolites.
[A31641][A31647]
[L1174]
The complete elimination of all the metabolites by urine is of 75% when administered intravenously and 69% when administered orally.
[A31649]
From the elimination profile, The specific ranges of the two major metabolites of moxisylyte in the urine are of 50% and 10% for desacetyl-thymoxamine and N-monodemethyl-desacetyl-thymoxamine respectively.
[A31648]
The fecal elimination corresponded only to the 14% of the administered dose.
