Verapamil

Uses

Verapamil is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (heart-related chest pain), and arrhythmia.

How it Works

How Verapamil works Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. It inhibits the action of calcium on the heart and blood vessels, resulting in the dilation of blood vessels and allowing more blood and oxygen to reach the heart. This reduces blood pressure and lowers the likelihood of angina (chest pain).

Side Effects

Common side effects of Verapamil include constipation, dizziness, nausea, edema (swelling), heart failure, and pulmonary edema.

Expert Advice

It may cause dizziness or sleepiness.
Do not drive or engage in activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
It may cause feelings of lightheadedness or weakness, especially upon standing (orthostatic hypotension).
Rise slowly after sitting or lying down.
It is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption while taking Verapamil, as it may exacerbate side effects.
Do not discontinue use suddenly without consulting your doctor first.
