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]

Medical uses

It is used in the treatment of high blood pressure^[4] and essential tremor.^[5]^[6] Recommended dosage is 10 to 30 mg per day.^{[citation needed]}
