Nadolol Oral

In Depth

Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking this medication.

This drug may infrequently make your blood sugar level rise, causing or worsening diabetes. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop symptoms of high blood sugar such as increased thirst or urination.

If you already have diabetes, be sure to check your blood sugar regularly. This medication may mask the fast/pounding heartbeat, nervousness and shakiness you would usually feel when your blood sugar falls too low (hypoglycemia). Other symptoms of low blood sugar such as hunger, dizziness and sweating are unaffected by this drug.

Kidney function declines as you grow older. This medication is removed by the kidneys. Therefore, elderly people may be at a greater risk for side effects such as dizziness while using this drug.

This medication should be used only when clearly needed 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 immediately if you notice a slow heart rate or signs of low blood sugar (e.g., shakiness, sweating) in your newborn. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Nadolol passes into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
