Nadolol, sold under the brand name Corgard among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure, heart pain, atrial fibrillation, and some inherited arrhythmic syndromes.[2] It has also been used to prevent migraine headaches and complications of cirrhosis.[3][4] It is taken orally.[3]

Common side effects include dizziness, feeling tired, a slow heart rate, and Raynaud syndrome.[2] Serious side effects may include heart failure and bronchospasm.[2] Its use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is of unclear safety.[5] It is a non-selective beta blocker and works by blocking β1-adrenergic receptors in the heart and β2-adrenergic receptors in blood vessels.[2]

Nadolol was patented in 1970 and came into medical use in 1978.[6] It is available as a generic medication.[2] In 2020, it was the 340th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 700 thousand prescriptions.[7]
