Alprenolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist (beta-blocker) that was previously used in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris. Due to its side effect profile and the availability of newer agents, alprenolol is no longer widely marketed or approved for clinical use in many countries.
