Moxisylyte, also known as thymoxamine, is a drug used in urology for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.^[1] It is an α₁-adrenergic antagonist.^[2] In the United Kingdom, Moxisylte is marketed as Opilon (Archimedes Pharma UK Ltd) and is used for the short-term treatment of primary Raynaud's syndrome. This is a condition where the fingers and toes become discoloured and is triggered by responses to cold, or emotional distress. Opilon tablets help by improving blood circulation to the extremities.^[3]^[4]
