A synthetic compound which helps to prevent the movement of calcium ions across membranes. It is used in the treatment of angina pectoris, hypertension and irregular heartbeat.
Oral/parenteral calcium channel blocker used in the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, angina, arrythmia, and migraine. Adverse effects include nausea, bradycardia, and hypotension with the intravenous form.
A drug used to treat cardiac conditions and high blood pressure. Verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan) is used to treat angina (chest pain), certain kinds of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), and high blood pressure. Verapamil is also used to prevent headaches caused by high blood pressure. Calcium channel blockers, including verapamil, work by blocking the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels to relax the blood vessels and increase the blood and oxygen supply to the heart.
A drug, one of the calcium-channel blockers, which is used in the treatment of hypertension, disordered rhythms of the heart, and angina pectoris. It reduces cardiac output and slows the heart rate. It may, however, precipitate heart failure, cause hypotension and aggravate conduction problems in the heart, so should be prescribed with care. It should not be used with beta-adrenoceptor-blocking drugs (beta blockers).
A calcium channel blocker, administered orally or intravenously to manage hypertension, angina pectoris, Prinzmetal’s angina, and supraventricular arrhythmias. It is sometimes given to prevent migraine headaches. Its therapeutic classes are antianginal, antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, and vascular headache suppressant.
A medication that functions as a calcium channel inhibitor to address conditions such as hypertension (elevated blood pressure), angina pectoris (chest discomfort caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart), and specific arrhythmias (irregularities in heartbeat). Potential adverse effects encompass headache, flushing, dizziness, and swelling of the ankles.
