Is Propranolol a substitute for nadolol?

30 years old. I take brand Corgard because I don't like to toy around with generics. I enjoy Inderal because it was more of a relief when you took it, almost like the feeling you get after taking a Xanax because of a panic attack. The thing that was not ideal is that I had to take it 3 times a day and I don't have the time to deal with that, I already carry around Klonopin, I don't need to look like a pharmacy everywhere I go. Corgard does the trick, it has a long life in the system so I honestly don't even think about it. The only time I notice something from Corgard is when I miss a day or two - thats a tough feeling and you sort of have to wait it out as it gets back in your system. As far as price goes, I have no clue. My insurance pays for everything and I don't have a co-payment. I cant speak for people on medicade or whatever that other one is because I know nothing about them.

I have also been on Nadolol for years and I'm on medicare too. Mine went from $7 to $90 in 2 years, Obama Care! My doctor switched me to Aterolol I think is what it is called. I have been on it for three weeks and I am short of breath and since yesterdat=y my pulse has gone from 72 to 100 and BP from 120/70 to 149/90. I'm calling her tomorrow to change. I don't think it is as good or the same as Nadolol just my opinion, she was following my direction to keep the price down because this year my entire disablity check is almost all going to doctors and the pharmacy. Our raise this year equaled a whole dollar for me and with the cost of medicare gone up I lost $24.00 total!! Some raise!!!

Whether or not Propanalol is a substitute for Nadalol depends on what condition you have. They are not the exact same chemical, even though they are in the same 'family' of medications (beta blockers). Was nadalol prescribed by your family doctor or by a cardiologist? You need to ask why did he/she prescribed nadalol, and why not another beta blocker or even a completely different type of medication? I take nadalol because for my particular condition it is the most effective beta blocker. Since when does an insurance company increase or set the price of medications? I've never heard of such a thing, but I don't live in the USA.

Longtime user of nadolol 100 mg daily. Due to price gouging, my MD switched me to metoprolol, 100 mg. Three months later, blood pressure remains at 120/78. Price of this beta blocker is back where nadolol used to be.

I have been on Nadolol 40 mg for 30 years, and now Part D will not cover it. Is switching to Propanolol ok?

I have been on nadolol for years, and I didn't have insurance, I got it at walgreen's cheaply. The two drugs are related, it just ticks me off when insurance companies mess around around with someone's meds.
