Verapamil: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect
Indication:
Verapamil is mainly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain from reduced blood flow to the heart), and certain abnormal heart rhythms like supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and atrial fibrillation. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate, which helps improve blood flow and reduce the heart’s workload. This makes it easier for the heart to pump and helps prevent chest pain and irregular heartbeats.
Dosage:
Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain heart rhythm disorders. The dosage depends on the condition, the patient’s age, and how they respond to the medicine. For adults with high blood pressure, a common starting dose is 180–240 mg once daily (extended-release form), which may be increased gradually up to 480 mg per day, either as a single dose or divided into two. For arrhythmias or angina, immediate-release forms may be used in smaller, divided doses several times a day.
Note:
Should be taken with food to reduce stomach upset.
Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets.
Blood pressure, heart rate, and kidney function should be monitored regularly during treatment.
