What brand is nadolol sold under?
Nadolol is a beta-blocker marketed under brand names in different countries, but in the US it is commonly associated with Corgard as the best-known brand name.
What is nadolol used for (brand or generic)?
Nadolol is used to treat conditions where beta-blockade is helpful, such as:
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Angina (chest pain due to heart disease)
- Certain heart rhythm problems
- Sometimes used in specialized settings for portal hypertension/variceal bleeding prevention (based on clinician judgment and local guidance)
Is there a generic version of the nadolol brand?
In many markets, generic nadolol is available (the generic name is “nadolol”), typically at lower cost than brand products like Corgard.

Pricing and availability: why “brand” can change
Even when the same drug (nadolol) is prescribed, what patients actually get can depend on:
- Pharmacy stock and substitution rules
- Insurance formularies
- Whether the brand (e.g., Corgard) is available or has been largely replaced by generics
If you tell me your country and the exact brand name on your prescription (for example, “Corgard”), I can narrow down the likely product and what generics are commonly substituted.
