What is nadolol and how does it work?

Nadolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker, commonly called a beta-blocker. It is the active ingredient in the brand-name drug Corgard. By blocking beta receptors throughout the body, nadolol slows the heart rate, reduces the force of each heartbeat, and lowers blood pressure. This eases the heart's workload, which is why it is used to treat certain heart-related conditions.

Nadolol is FDA-approved for two uses: treating hypertension (high blood pressure) and the long-term management of angina pectoris (chest pain). One convenient feature is its long duration of action, which allows for once-daily dosing in many people. Your provider decides the right dose for you, and because nadolol is cleared by the kidneys, the dose may be adjusted if you have reduced kidney function.

Nadolol cost and savings without insurance

Nadolol is available as an FDA-approved generic, so it is generally one of the more affordable beta-blockers whether or not you have insurance. Still, cash prices are not the same everywhere. The same tablet can cost noticeably more at one pharmacy than another just a few miles away, which is why it pays to compare rather than assume your usual pharmacy has the best price.

Rx.com checks nadolol prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies and gives you a free discount coupon that works whether you are insured, uninsured, or paying cash because the price beats your copay. There is no brand-name manufacturer savings card needed here since the generic is already low-cost. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you.

Nadolol vs. other beta-blockers

Nadolol is one of several beta-blockers, and your provider chooses among them based on your specific condition, other health issues, and how the drug is cleared from your body. Nadolol is non-selective (it blocks both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors) and is cleared by the kidneys, while some alternatives are more heart-selective or cleared by the liver.

Other commonly prescribed beta-blockers include:

• propranolol — another non-selective beta-blocker
• atenolol — a heart-selective (beta-1) option
• metoprolol — a widely used beta-1 selective beta-blocker
• carvedilol — blocks beta and alpha receptors
• bisoprolol — a beta-1 selective beta-blocker

These are not interchangeable. Only your prescriber can decide which beta-blocker is right for you. You can compare prices for any of them on Rx.com.

Important safety information

The most important safety point with nadolol is to never stop taking it suddenly. Abruptly stopping can worsen angina and, especially in people with coronary artery disease, may trigger a heart attack or dangerous heart rhythms. If you and your provider decide to stop, the dose is usually tapered down gradually over one to two weeks.

Nadolol should not be used by people with bronchial asthma or other bronchospastic lung disease, a very slow heart rate (sinus bradycardia), heart block greater than first-degree, cardiogenic shock, or overt uncontrolled heart failure. It can also mask the warning signs of low blood sugar in people with diabetes and the signs of an overactive thyroid. Common side effects include a slow heart rate, fatigue, dizziness, and cold hands and feet. Use caution if you have poor circulation, such as Raynaud's, or reduced kidney function. This is general information, not medical advice, so talk with your provider or pharmacist about your full health history and any other medicines you take.
