Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. It slows the heart rate and relaxes the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload.
Do not take verapamil with beta-blockers unless your doctor has advised it. Avoid grapefruit juice. Tell your doctor if you have heart failure, a slow heart rate or liver problems. Verapamil interacts with many medicines, including some statins, so share your full medicine list.
