Description

Cetamolol is a beta adrenergic antagonist with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, patented by Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd for cardiovascular disease treatment. The average plasma half-life of cetamolol is 6.4 hours in humans and peak serum levels are reached 1 to 2 hours after drug intake; oral doses as low as 10 mg produced significant reductions in exercise-induced tachycardia 24 hours after drug administration. Cetamolol is approximately three times as potent as atenolol in blocking exercise-induced tachycardia.
