Caprylic alcohol (also known as 1-octanol) is long-chain alcohol used to prevent foaming. The Caprylic alcohol has been demonstrated to effectively alleviate tremor symptoms in ET without causing intoxication or other clinically relevant adverse effects. Pharmacokinetic findings suggested that the effect of 1-octanol might be mediated through its metabolite octanoic acid.
