About Corgard (nadolol)

Corgard is considered a beta-blocker, which functions by relaxing blood vessels and decreasing heart rate. This improves blood flow and decreases blood pressure. Like other beta-blockers, Corgard is a prescription-only medication used to treat high blood pressure and other heart conditions.

 

Some conditions that Corgard is known to treat include high blood pressure, chest pain, irregular heart rhythms, and migraines. Corgard is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation, nadolol, as well as under different brand names, including APO-Nadolol and MINT-Nadolol.

 

Corgard may be prescribed as a tablet and may be administered without regard to meals. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage that you are prescribed. 

Corgard uses

There are a few FDA-approved uses for Corgard, but it may also be used off-label to treat other conditions. If you have questions about why a medication is prescribed, ask your online doctor

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Corgard is used to treat high blood pressure but generally other medications are used for blood pressure management and Corgard is considered in people with pre-existing heart disease or other indications.

Chest pain

Corgard may be prescribed to treat chronic, stable angina (chest pain)

Irregular heart rhythms

Corgard is approved as an off-label prescription to treat conditions that result in an irregular heartbeat, such as the maintenance of ventricular rate control, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter.

Migraine prevention

Corgard is approved for off-label use in patients to treat migraines as a long-term prophylactic medication to decrease the number and possibly intensity of migraine that occurs.

What to avoid while taking Corgard

Corgard has several drug interactions. Don’t change what you are taking without checking with your doctor or pharmacist. That includes other drugs or supplements, as well as over-the-counter medications and vitamins.

Be especially sure to mention your complete medical history, including if you take any of the following:

  • Beta 2 agonists (albuterol, ritodrine, vilanterol)

  • Bromperidol

  • Etofylline

  • Fexinidazole

  • Rivastigmine

  • White birch allergen extract

It is important to let your doctor know if you have health problems like asthma, COPD, heart failure, or slow heartbeat when taking Corgard. 

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it is acceptable to consume alcohol while taking Corgard. Some research shows that regular alcohol consumption may decrease the effectiveness of prescription medications or enhance its side effects.
