How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Nadolol). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Nadolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent.

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.

Half-life20–24 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 5 daysfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How the body breaks it down

Unlike many other beta-adrenergic blocking agents, nadolol is not metabolized by the liver and is excreted unchanged, principally by the kidneys.

With food

Peak serum concentrations of nadolol usually occur in three to four hours after oral administration and the presence of food in the gastrointestinal tract does not affect the rate or extent of nadolol absorption.
