What does it do?

Verapamil hydrochloride belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers and is used to dilate blood vessels and regulate heart function. It is mainly used in the treatment of hypertension and angina, reducing the burden on the heart.

Verapamil hydrochloride blocks the influx of calcium ions in blood vessels and heart muscle cells, causing relaxation of blood vessels and slowing the heart rate. As a result, blood pressure decreases, and the oxygen demand of the heart is reduced.
