Bethanidine
An older antihypertensive drug that worked by blocking the release of norepinephrine from nerve endings, thereby lowering blood pressure. It was used in the management of hypertension before more modern agents became available. It is largely obsolete today due to its side effect profile and the availability of better alternatives.
