How does the Drug work
◉Verapamil is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It works by blocking the flow of calcium ions into the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels, which helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow.
◉ Specifically, verapamil blocks the L-type calcium channels in the heart and blood vessels, which are responsible for regulating the movement of calcium ions. By blocking these channels, verapamil reduces the amount of calcium that enters the cells, which leads to a decrease in the contractility of the heart muscle and relaxation of the blood vessels.
◉ Verapamil is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain caused by inadequate blood flow to the heart), and certain heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia. The 80 mg dose is a relatively low dose and may be prescribed as a starting dose or for maintenance therapy. The dosage and duration of treatment with verapamil will depend on the specific condition being treated and the individual’s response to the medication.
