Justicia Pectoralis 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 Justicia Pectoralis 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Justicia Pectoralis at all — not against Nadolol, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What Nadolol’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Justicia Pectoralis. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Nadolol’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Low mood Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on
  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 41 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Nadolol. Read the label on DailyMed › 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. Justicia Pectoralis’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Justicia Pectoralis side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Justicia Pectoralis has no side effects.

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.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Justicia Pectoralis is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Justicia Pectoralis reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Justicia Pectoralis and Nadolol records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Justicia Pectoralis

What is Justicia Pectoralis?

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Sleep problems
  • Cough and respiratory complaints
  • Minor wounds and inflammation
  • Flavoring agent

Justicia pectoralis is a tropical herb used in Caribbean and South American folk medicine for calming, sleep, and respiratory complaints, but high-quality human evidence is very limited. Because little is known about its safety, talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using it, and avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Justicia pectoralis · Acanthaceae · Leaves and aerial parts (sometimes the whole plant) · Tea (infusion), tincture, dried leaf, and as part of traditional snuff preparations

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

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
