Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Nadolol 160 mg Capsules is a prescription medication that is primarily used to manage conditions such as hypertension, angina, and migraine headaches. This medication is a beta-blocker, a type of drug that works by inhibiting the effects of certain natural substances in the body, including epinephrine. These substances can cause the heart to beat faster and blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure. By blocking these effects, Nadolol helps to lower blood pressure, alleviate chest pain, and prevent the onset of migraine headaches.

The capsules are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for easy swallowing and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. It is crucial to take Nadolol 160 mg Capsules exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical starting dose is 40 mg once daily, which can be taken with or without food. Your doctor may adjust your dose as needed based on your response to the medication. Regular intake of this medication is essential to achieve the maximum benefit. It is strongly advised not to discontinue this medication without consulting your doctor.

Patients taking Nadolol 160 mg Capsules may experience side effects such as dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea. If you encounter any of these side effects, it is important to contact your doctor immediately.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Nadolol 160 mg Capsules are a potent medication used in the treatment of various conditions such as hypertension, angina, and migraine headaches. The active ingredient, Nadolol, functions by inhibiting the action of certain natural substances in the body, like epinephrine, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and elevate blood pressure.

The capsules are designed to be taken orally, typically once or twice a day, with or without food. The dosage and frequency of administration are dependent on the condition being treated and the individual's response to the treatment. It is crucial to take Nadolol exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not alter the prescribed dosage or discontinue the medication without consulting your doctor.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
