Overview

Verapamil belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers which interfere with the electrical signals in the heart muscle and blood vessels. It is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It can be used alone or with other drugs for high blood pressure. Verapamil Hydrochloride tablets also help to manage and prevent angina as well as treat and prevent certain types of abnormal heartbeats.

Verapamil tablets work by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart and slows electrical activity in the heart to control the heart rate.

High blood pressure rarely has noticeable symptoms, and if left untreated greatly increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. High blood pressure occurs for a variety of reasons including genetic predispositions, weight, and old age. Medication such as Verapamil tablets may be prescribed to help reduce high blood pressure and therefore reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.

If Verapamil tablets are not effective there are other medications for high blood pressure. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist to find the best solution for you. You can order Verapamil tablets online from e-Surgery with a quick health questionnaire. Use our free Ask a Pharmacist service to find the right medication for you.

We advise that our patients consult with either their prescriber or doctor before you buy or use Verapamil.

Verapamil may cause ventricular fibrillation or atrioventricular block if you have any of these diseases.

Can Verapamil Hydrochloride tablets cause weight gain?

Yes, however, it is due to water weight most of the time. Oedema (Swollen legs and feet) can occur in around 2% of people who use verapamil. The excess water being trapped in your body tissue could be the cause behind this.

We advise that our patients consult with either their prescriber or doctor before you buy or use Verapamil.

How it works

Verapamil hydrochloride is a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that affects both blood vessels and heart tissue. It blocks calcium channels in cardiac muscle and blood vessel walls, reducing contractility and causing vasodilation. This dual action decreases heart rate, reduces cardiac workload, and lowers blood pressure.

Verapamil also slows electrical conduction through the AV node, making it effective for treating certain heart rhythm disorders in addition to hypertension. Unlike dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, verapamil significantly affects cardiac function and may be used to treat angina pectoris.
