What is nadolol 20 mg used for?
Nadolol 20 mg tablets contain nadolol, a beta-blocker. They’re used for conditions where slowing the heart rate and reducing how hard the heart works can help, such as certain heart rhythm problems and heart-related conditions where beta-blockade is indicated.
How should nadolol 20 mg tablets be taken?
Take nadolol exactly as prescribed by a clinician. Many beta-blockers are taken once or more times per day depending on the specific regimen. Do not change the dose or stop suddenly without medical guidance, since abrupt stopping can worsen heart symptoms.

Can nadolol 20 mg be taken with other medicines?
Drug interactions can matter with beta-blockers. People typically need extra guidance if they take medicines that also slow heart rate or affect blood pressure (for example, some heart rhythm drugs or certain blood pressure medicines). Tell your clinician or pharmacist about all medications and supplements you use.
What happens if a dose is missed?
If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it’s close to the time for the next dose. Do not take two doses at once.
