Drug & supplement interaction

Cesium + Nadolol

Nadolol brand names: Corgard, Nadolol.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cesium and Nadolol in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Cesium and Nadolol

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Nadolol and Cesium in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Nadolol

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Nadolol is filed under 5 classifications — including beta-blockers, antihypertensive drugs, seizure threshold lowering drugs. Cesium has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — the most serious being qt interval-prolonging drugs (major), corticosteroids (moderate) and diuretic drugs (moderate) — and none of Nadolol’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Cesium and Nadolol May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

Reported for Cesium but not commonly for Nadolol: an irregular heartbeat, fainting, a fast or pounding heartbeat and low potassium.

Effects for Nadolol come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Cesium come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 7,530 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Nadolol that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Nadolol

This page covers Cesium only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Nadolol page lists 145 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), American Mistletoe (major), Green Tea (major) and Indian Snakeroot (major).

By severity: 6 major · 119 moderate · 20 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Nadolol page

“If you take nadolol (Corgard) for blood pressure, angina, or heart rhythm, treat this list with real care, and green tea is the surprise at the top. In a clinical study, green tea cut nadolol blood levels by roughly 85 percent, which can quietly leave you undertreated.”

About Cesium

What is Cesium?

  • Marketed as an alternative cancer treatment ('high pH therapy')
  • Claimed to alter tumor pH
  • General 'alkaline' health claims

Cesium chloride is a mineral salt sold as an alternative cancer therapy ('high pH therapy'), but there is no reliable scientific evidence that it treats cancer or any other disease. It can cause dangerous heart rhythm problems and even death, so it should not be used. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplement, and never use cesium in place of proven medical care.

Mineral element (cesium chloride salt) · Capsules, powders, liquid solutions (often as cesium chloride)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Cesium is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Cesium record says about it on its own.

Cesium: dosing

There is no safe or established dose for cesium chloride, and it is not approved as a medicine. Because it can cause life-threatening harm, no dosing recommendation can be given.We strongly advise against taking cesium chloride.

About Nadolol

What Is Nadolol Used For?

Brand names: Corgard, Nadolol

Nadolol tablets are used for two main conditions: high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina pectoris (ongoing chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). Lowering high blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack.

For high blood pressure, nadolol may be prescribed on its own or combined with other blood pressure medications, especially thiazide-type diuretics (water pills). For angina, it is used for long-term management to help reduce how often chest pain occurs.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Nadolol

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (7,530 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Macular degeneration 831 reports
Nausea 673 reports
Headache 603 reports
Fatigue 526 reports
Weight decreased 464 reports

Taking Cesium and Nadolol Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Cesium with Nadolol?
We do not list a known interaction between Cesium and Nadolol. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Cesium and Nadolol have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Cesium and Nadolol combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Nadolol is filed under 5 classifications, and Cesium has documented interactions with 3 drug classes — none of Nadolol's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Cesium interact with any other medications?
Yes. Cesium has 255 documented drug interactions in our database — Nadolol is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Nadolol interact with any supplements?
Yes. Nadolol has documented interactions with 145 supplements in our database — Cesium is not one of them. The Nadolol interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
