Ingredients

Warnings
Occasionally, the pharmacologic action of verapamil may produce a decrease in blood pressure below normal levels, which may result in dizziness or symptomatic hypotension.
Verapamil has a negative inotropic effect, which in most patients is compensated by its afterload reduction (decreased systemic vascular resistance) properties without a net impairment of ventricular performance.
Elevations of transaminases with and without concomitant elevations in alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin have been reported.
