Corgard (nadolol) is used to treat angina (chest pain) and hypertension (high blood pressure). It is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. This medication is available in generic form. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, and fatigue.
Dosage of Corgard is individualized. The usual initial dose to treat angina or hypertension is 40 mg once daily. Dosage may be gradually increased. The usual maintenance dose is 40 or 80 mg administered once daily. Corgard may interact with allergy treatments or allergy skin-testing, clonidine, MAO inhibitors, diabetes medications, heart medications, medicine for asthma or other breathing disorders, cold medicines, stimulant medicines, or diet pills. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. Corgard should be used only when prescribed during pregnancy. If used near the time of delivery, the newborn may have problems such as slow heart rate or low blood sugar. Tell your doctor if you notice a slow heart rate or signs of low blood sugar (e.g., shakiness, sweating) in your newborn. This medication passes into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
