Methoxamine may be used intravenously in the treatment of hypotensive states or to relieve attacks of paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, particularly those associated with hypotension. /Methoxamine/

METHOXAMINE ... DOES NOT INCREASE VENTRICULAR RATE IN PATIENTS WITH HEART BLOCK. REFLEX BRADYCARDIA IS PROMINENT, &, THEREFORE, THE DRUG IS USED CLINICALLY TO RELIEVE ATTACKS OF PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA. /METHOXAMINE/
Gilman, A. G., L. S. Goodman, and A. Gilman. (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 6th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. 1980., p. 166
THE DRUG IS USEFUL FOR THE TREATMENT OF HYPOTENSIVE STATES WHEN IT IS DESIRED TO RAISE BLOOD PRESSURE WITHOUT CARDIAC STIMULATION. HOWEVER, METHOXAMINE HAS VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON THE CAPACITANCE VEINS, SO THAT ITS USEFULNESS IS COMPROMISED, ESPECIALLY IN TREATMENT OF VARIOUS KINDS OF SHOCK.

Methoxamine should be used with caution in patients with hyperthyroidism, bradycardia, partial heart block, myocardial disease, or severe arteriosclerosis. Caution should be used to avoid overdosage of methoxamine, since it may cause undesirable hypertension and/or bradycardia.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service - Drug Information 1999. Bethesda, MD: American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Inc. 1999 (Plus Supplements)., p. 1129
Methoxamine can cause ventricular ectopic beats or severe bradycardia and decreased cardiac output. Decreased cardiac output may be especially harmful to geriatric patients and/or those with preexisting poor cerebral or coronary circulation. Bradycardia may be treated by administration of atropine. Methoxamine also increases cardiac work by increasing peripheral arterial resistance and may induce or exacerbate heart failure associated with a decreased myocardium. Some clinicians believe that the drug is contraindicated in shock caused by myocardial infarction. Large doses of methoxamine, especially if administered following repeated injections of the drug, may cause cardiac depression and a fall in blood pressure.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service - Drug Information 1999. Bethesda, MD: American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Inc. 1999 (Plus Supplements)., p. 1129
Methoxamine can cause severe peripheral and visceral vasoconstriction, reduced blood blow to vital organs, and decreased renal perfusion; reductions in glomerular filtration rate, urine output, and sodium excretion may occur as well as metabolic acidosis. These effects may be most likely to occur in hypovolemic patients. In addition, prolonged use of the drug may result in plasma volume depletion which may result in perpetuation of the shock state or the recurrence of hypotension when methoxamine is discontinued.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service - Drug Information 1999. Bethesda, MD: American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Inc. 1999 (Plus Supplements)., p. 1128
Methoxamine may cause restlessness, anxiety, nervousness, weakness, dizziness, precordial pain, tremor, respiratory distress, sweating, or pallor. Occasionally, injections of the drug may be followed by paresthesia in the extremities or feeling of coldness. A desire to void, a pilomotor response, and/or nausea and vomiting (often projectile) may also occur, especially with high doses. In addition, large doses of methoxamine may cause severe prolonged hypertension and severe headaches. Seizures and cerebral hemorrhage may result.

Adrenergic alpha-1 Receptor Agonists
Compounds that bind to and activate ADRENERGIC ALPHA-1 RECEPTORS. (See all compounds classified as Adrenergic alpha-1 Receptor Agonists.)
Sympathomimetics
Drugs that mimic the effects of stimulating postganglionic adrenergic sympathetic nerves. Included here are drugs that directly stimulate adrenergic receptors and drugs that act indirectly by provoking the release of adrenergic transmitters. (See all compounds classified as Sympathomimetics.)
Vasoconstrictor Agents
Drugs used to cause constriction of the blood vessels. (See all compounds classified as Vasoconstrictor Agents.)
ITS PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES ARE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY THOSE CHARACTERISTIC OF ALPHA-RECEPTOR STIMULATION, SINCE IT ACTS DIRECTLY AT THESE SITES. ... THE OUTSTANDING EFFECT IS AN INCREASE IN BLOOD PRESSURE DUE ENTIRELY TO VASOCONSTRICTION.

METHOXAMINE, GIVEN INTRAVENOUSLY OR INTRAMUSCULARLY IN MAN, CAUSES A RISE IN SYSTOLIC & DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURES THAT PERSISTS FOR 60 TO 90 MINUTES. THE PRESSOR EFFECT IS DUE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO AN INCREASE IN PERIPHERAL RESISTANCE. CARDIAC OUTPUT IS DECREASED OR UNCHANGED. /METHOXAMINE/
Gilman, A. G., L. S. Goodman, and A. Gilman. (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 6th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. 1980., p. 165
METHOXAMINE HAS A RELATIVELY SELECTIVE ACTION ON POSTSYNAPTIC COMPARED WITH PRESYNAPTIC RECEPTOR OF PULMONARY ARTERY; BOTH SYSTEMS WERE OF SIMILAR SENSITIVITY TO NOREPINEPHRINE & EPINEPHRINE.

TRITIUM-LABELED METHOXAMINE CROSSED THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER IN RAT. THUS METHOXAMINE IS CENTRALLY ACTIVE ALPHA-ADRENERGIC AGONIST & CONCEPT THAT HYPOTHALAMIC ADRENERGIC MECHANISMS ARE INVOLVED IN ELECTROENCEPHALOGIC & BEHAVIORAL AROUSAL IS SUPPORTED.
