Verapamil (brand names: Isoptin®, Verelan®, Calan®, Bosoptin®) is a medical drug that acts as an L-type calcium channel blocker.
Indications
It is used in the treatment of
hypertension,
angina pectoris, and some types of
arrhythmia.
Verapamil is used to treat irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), migraines and high blood pressure. It relaxes your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard. It also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart to control chest pain (angina). If taken regularly, verapamil controls chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts. Your doctor may give you a different medication to take when you have chest pain.
