The effects of metoprolol tartrate and propranolol hydrochloride on 23 patients with essential tremor were analyzed. Tremor was assessed by patient self-evaluation, clinical scoring and tremorgrams. Ten of 20 patients had tremor reduction with propranolol. Metoprolol decreased tremor in 13 of 23 patients, including 3 patients with asthma in whom propranolol had caused respiratory distress. Adverse reactions were infrequent. Individual patients either responded to both propranolol and metoprolol or to neither drug. Patient age, duration of tremor, tremor frequency, family history, or response to i.v. ethyl alcohol did not distinguish responders from nonresponders.
