Arotinolol (INN, marketed under the tradename Almarl) is a medication in the class of mixed alpha/beta blockers.[1] It also acts as a β3 receptor agonist.[2] A 1979 publication suggests arotinolol as having first been described in the scientific literature by Sumitomo Chemical as "β-adrenergic blocking, antiarrhythmic compound S-596".[3]

Uses

It is used in the treatment of high blood pressure[4] and essential tremor.[5][6]

Recommended dosage is 10–30 mg per day.
