Nadolol
Pharmacology
Nadolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist with a long half-life, and is structurally similar to propranolol. Clinical pharmacology studies have demonstrated beta-blocking activity by showing (1) reduction in heart rate and cardiac output at rest and on exercise, (2) reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest and on exercise, (3) inhibition of isoproterenol-induced tachycardia, and (4) reduction of reflex orthostatic tachycardia. Nadolol has no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity and, unlike some other beta-adrenergic blocking agents, nadolol has little direct myocardial depressant activity and does not have an anesthetic-like membrane-stabilizing action.
Nadolol
Absorption
Absorption of nadolol after oral dosing is variable, averaging about 30 percent.
Nadolol
side effects and Toxicity
Oral, mouse: LD50 = 4500mg/kg. Symptoms of overdose include abdominal irritation, central nervous system depression, coma, extremely slow heartbeat, heart failure, lethargy, low blood pressure, and wheezing.

Patient Information
Patients, especially those with evidence of coronary artery insufficiency, should be warned against interruption
or discontinuation of nadolol therapy without the physician's advice. Although cardiac failure rarely occurs in
properly selected patients, patients being treated with beta-adrenergic blocking agents should be advised to consult
the physician at the first sign or symptom of impending failure. The patient should also be advised of a proper
course in the event of an inadvertently missed dose.
