Bevantolol (INN) was a drug candidate for angina and hypertension that acted as both a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker.^[1][2] It was discovered and developed by Warner-Lambert^[3] but in January 1989 the company announced that it had withdrawn the New Drug Application; the company's chairman said: "Who needs the 30th beta blocker?"^[4] As of 2016^[update] it wasn't marketed in the US, UK, or Europe and the authors of a Cochrane review could find no product monograph for it.^[5]
