Nadolol

The medication Nadolol is the generic form of the brand name medicine Corgard. Nadolol is a type of medicine known as a beta blocker, which means that it affects the heart and the blood’s circulation through arteries and veins. This makes Nadolol, as well as other beta blockers, an excellent type of medicine for treating high blood pressure as well as recurring chest pains known as Angina.

Usually, Nadolol or Nadolol Norvasc, will be prescribed only as a portion of a treatment regimen. Other possible inclusions are proper diet and exercise, as well as reducing stress that can lead to high blood pressure. There may be other illnesses that can be treated with Nadolol as well, such as using Nadolol for migraines. This will depend solely on your condition, the cause of the headaches and more. However, blood pressure Nadolol use is the most common reason for a prescription. Your Nadolol dose will depend on a variety of factors, including how severe your condition is as well as how your body will react to the medication based on your other medical situations. Doctors often prescribe Nadolol 80 mg, but your Nadolol dosage may be higher or lower depending on your situation. In the same manner, your dosage may be changed at any given time depending on how your body handles the drug.

The side effects for Nadolol can include impotence or a decreased desire for sex, anxiety and sleep difficulties. These are the most common side effects, and if they interrupt your lifestyle, you should discuss them with your doctor but continue to take the medication until the physician determines an alternative. More severe side effects can also occur while using Nadolol, including uneven heartbeats, nausea, light-headedness and more. If any of these, or other seemingly severe side effects occur, you should contact the prescribing doctor immediately. Nadolol should never be suddenly stopped, because this can actually make symptoms worsen and could even lead to fatal results. Instead, your doctor will likely slowly lower your dosage until your body has been weaned off the medication.

If you have difficulties taking Nadolol for any reason, there are other medication options available. A variety of beta blockers are available and you and your doctor will be able to determine the best replacement for Nadolol based on your health and other considerations. This is the best way to experience the least amount of side effects while still lowering your blood pressure or reducing the amount of chest pains you experience.
