It was first synthesized in 1967 by the Swedish pharmaceutical company [[Astra AB]], now known as [[AstraZeneca]]. Alprenolol is used in the treatment of various cardiovascular disorders, such as [[hypertension]], [[angina pectoris]], and [[arrhythmia]]. <br />
<br />
==Pharmacology==<br />
Alprenolol works by blocking the action of [[epinephrine]] and [[norepinephrine]], two hormones that stimulate the heart and blood vessels. By blocking these hormones, Alprenolol reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. <br />
<br />
==Clinical Use==<br />
Alprenolol is primarily used to treat hypertension and angina pectoris. It is also used to prevent and treat heart arrhythmias and is sometimes used in the treatment of [[anxiety]] and [[migraine]].<br />
<br />
==Side Effects==<br />
Common side effects of Alprenolol include fatigue, cold hands and feet, slow heartbeat, and [[sleep disturbances]]. Less common side effects include depression, shortness of breath, and weight gain.<br />
<br />
==Contraindications==<br />
Alprenolol is contraindicated in patients with [[asthma]], [[bradycardia]], and certain types of heart block. It should be used with caution in patients with [[diabetes]] or peripheral vascular disease.<br />
