Apo-Nadolol

Uses
Apo-Nadolol (Nadolol) is a beta blocker medication that is prescribed as a treatment for hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by blocking the beta receptors in the heart, which in turn helps contribute to a reduction in blood pressure. Another use for this drug is managing angina (chest pain), and helping to reduce the occurrence of episodes of chest pain. Some patients have even taken this medicine to help prevent migraine headaches.

Dosage and Administration
Apo-Nadolol (Nadolol) comes in the form of tablets, which are administered orally. The required dosage will be decided by the prescribing doctor. Adults taking this medicine to treat angina, hypertension or anxiety are often told to start out by taking 40mg per day, and the maintenance dose usually ranges from 40mg to 80mg per day. However, higher doses may be prescribed if deemed necessary by a doctor. Other conditions may require different doses, and in all cases, patients must follow the instructions given to them by their doctor.
