What is bendroflumethiazide and nadolol?

Bendroflumethiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.


Nadolol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).


The combination of bendroflumethiazide and nadolol is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

If you are diabetic, check your blood sugar carefully. Using nadolol can make it harder for you to tell when you have low blood sugar. Your insulin or diabetic medication needs may change while you are taking bendroflumethiazide and nadolol. Talk with your doctor before changing any doses.


Avoid drinking alcohol, which can lower your blood pressure and may add to the side effects of bendroflumethiazide and nadolol.

Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
