Nadolol is a prescription medication used to treat various cardiovascular conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and certain heart rhythm disorders. It belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-blockers. Nadolol works by blocking the effects of certain natural substances in the body, such as epinephrine, that can increase heart rate and blood pressure.
Nadolol is available under the brand name Corgard, and a generic version is also available.
This medication can only be obtained with a prescription, meaning you must have a written prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to purchase it.
What is nadolol (generic Corgard) used to treat?
Nadolol is primarily prescribed for the treatment of the following conditions:
High blood pressure (hypertension): Nadolol helps lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes.
Angina (chest pain): Nadolol can relieve angina symptoms by reducing the heart's workload and improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
Certain heart rhythm disorders: Nadolol may be used to manage abnormal heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias, by slowing the heart rate and reducing the risk of arrhythmia-related complications.
Nadolol is part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and other medications as determined by your healthcare provider.
How does nadolol (generic Corgard) work?
Nadolol works by blocking the effects of epinephrine (adrenaline) on the heart and blood vessels. Epinephrine can increase heart rate and constrict blood vessels, leading to elevated blood pressure and angina symptoms. Nadolol helps reduce heart rate and blood pressure by inhibiting these effects, relieving chest pain, and managing certain heart rhythm disorders.
