WARNING

Never stop taking nadolol without consulting your doctor first. A heart attack or chest pain could result from abruptly quitting nadolol. Most likely, your dosage will be gradually reduced by your doctor.

Why is this medication prescribed?

Nadolol is used to treat high blood pressure either alone or in conjunction with other drugs. Moreover, it prevents angina (chest pain). The drug nadolol belongs to the class of drugs known as beta blockers. It improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and lowering heart rate.

Untreated high blood pressure is a frequent illness that can harm the kidneys, brain, heart, blood vessels, and other body organs. Heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, a stroke, renal failure, eyesight loss, and other issues may result from damage to these organs. Making lifestyle modifications will help you control your blood pressure in addition to taking medication. These adjustments include quitting smoking, drinking alcohol in moderation, eating a diet low in fat and salt, keeping a healthy weight, and exercising for at least 30 minutes most days.

How should this medicine be used?

Nadolol is available as an oral tablet. Typically, it is taken once day, with or without food. Take your nadolol at around the same time each day to help you remember to take it. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any instructions on your prescription label that you are unsure about following. Neodyne should be taken as prescribed. Never take it in larger or less amounts or more frequently than directed by your doctor.

Your doctor might prescribe you a small dose of nadolol and then gradually increase it.

Nadolol reduces angina and high blood pressure but does not treat either condition. You might not experience nadolol’s full benefits for a few weeks. Nootropil should be used even if you feel fine.

Other uses for this medicine

Nadolol is also occasionally used to treat Parkinson’s disease-related tremors, treat irregular heartbeat, and prevent migraine headaches. Discuss the potential dangers of using this medicine for your illness with your doctor.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details if you believe this drug should be used for something else.

What special precautions should I follow?

Before taking nadolol,

  • If you have any allergies, including to nadolol, other drugs, or any of the substances in nadolol tablets, inform your doctor and pharmacist very away. Get a list of the components from your pharmacist.
  • Inform your physician and pharmacist about all prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, dietary supplements, and herbal products you are taking. Incorporate any of the following: In addition to reserpine, oral diabetic medicines include insulin. Your physician might need to adjust the dosage of your drugs or keep a close eye on you for side effects.
  • Inform your doctor if you have or have ever had hyperthyroidism, sluggish heartbeat, renal or heart illness, diabetes, severe allergies, or asthma or other lung diseases (an overactive thyroid gland).
  • Inform your physician if you are nursing a baby, intend to get pregnant, or are already pregnant. Call your doctor if you get pregnant while taking nadolol.
  • Inform your doctor or dentist that you are taking nadolol if you are having surgery, including dental surgery.
  • Keep in mind that drinking alcohol can worsen the drowsiness brought on by this drug.
  • You should be aware that if you have allergies to various drugs, using nadolol may make them worse and that standard dosages of injectable epinephrine may not be effective in treating them.

What special dietary instructions should I follow?

If your doctor advises a low-salt or low-sodium diet, strictly follow the instructions.

What should I do if I forget a dose?

If you miss a dosage, take it as soon as you recall. If the next dose is soon due, skip the missed one and carry on with your regular dosing plan. To make up for a missing dose, do not take a second one.

What should I know about storage and disposal of this medication?

Keep this medication tightly closed in the original container and out of the reach of children. Keep it away from excessive heat and moisture at room temperature (not in the bathroom).

Unused prescriptions must be disposed of carefully to prevent pets, kids, and other people from ingesting them. You should not, however, dispose of this medication in the toilet. Instead, utilising a medicine take-back programme is the easiest approach to get rid of your medication. To find out about take-back programmes in your area, speak with your pharmacist or the garbage/recycling department in your city. If you do not have access to a take-back programme, see the FDA’s Safe Disposal of Medications website at http://goo.gl/c4Rm4p for additional information.

Although many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and are simple for young children to open, it is crucial to keep all medications out of sight and out of reach of children. Always lock safety caps and promptly stash medication up and away from young children where it is out of their sight and reach to prevent poisoning. http://www.upandaway.org

In case of emergency/overdose

Call the poison control hotline at 1-800-222-1222 in the event of an overdose. Moreover, information can be found online at https://www.poisonhelp.org/help. Call 911 right once if the person has collapsed, experienced a seizure, is having difficulty breathing, or cannot be roused.

Overdose signs could include the following:

  • Dizziness
  • Fainting
  • Breathing or swallowing challenges
  • Edoema of the lower legs, ankles, feet, or hands

What other information should I know?

Keep all of your doctor’s appointments. You should have your blood pressure monitored frequently to see how nadolol affects you. Your physician could instruct you to take your pulse (heart rate). To learn how to take your pulse, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Call your doctor if your pulse is abnormally fast or slow.

No one else should take your medication. Any queries you may have regarding medication refills should be directed to your pharmacist.

You should keep a written record of every medication you take, including any over-the-counter (OTC) items, prescription drugs, and dietary supplements like vitamins and minerals. This list should be brought with you whenever you see a doctor or are admitted to the hospital. You should always have this information with you in case of emergencies.
