Verapamil

Verapamil is commonly used to treat several conditions of the heart and blood vessels, such as chest pain, high blood pressure, and certain irregular heart rhythms. The medication works by relaxing the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow easier through them. Verapamil is available in the form of a tablet or capsule, and is typically taken one to four times a day. Potential side effects include dizziness, nausea, and headaches.
