What does it do?

Nadolol is a medication belonging to the beta-blocker class, primarily used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It is prescribed to reduce the heart's workload and lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension and angina.

Nadolol works by blocking beta receptors that act on the heart and blood vessels, leading to a reduction in heart rate and dilation of blood vessels. This decreases the oxygen demand of the heart and lowers blood pressure, alleviating symptoms.

Good to know

Nadolol is a non-selective beta-blocker, which can affect beta receptors in both the heart and the lungs. This distinguishes it from selective beta-blockers, and caution is needed in patients with asthma.
