Isoptin (active ingredient: verapamil) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Isoptin is used to treat high blood pressure, helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications such as stroke and heart attack.
  2. Angina Pectoris: It is also indicated for the management of angina pectoris (chest pain), including chronic stable angina and variant angina, by reducing the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
  3. Certain Types of Arrhythmias: Isoptin is used to manage certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, by controlling the heart rate.

Isoptin belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart by inhibiting calcium entry into the cells of the heart and blood vessels.

Verapamil is available in tablet form to be taken by mouth with or without food, usually 3 to 4 times daily. Take Verapamil regularly to obtain the maximum benefit. Take it at the same time each day to help with remembering.

The recommended dosages of Verapamil can vary depending on the condition being treated. Typical dosages for Verapamil include:

  • For high blood pressure: 40 mg orally three times a day, and maintenance dose varies from 80-120 mg orally three times a day.
  • For chest pain caused by angina: The usual dose is 360 mg a day, split into 2 or 3 doses throughout the day. It can be taken with or without food.

For the treatment of high blood pressure, it may take a week to achieve the full benefits of this medication. Even if you feel better, continue taking this medication. Take the tablet regularly as prescribed to prevent chest pain and do not use it when an attack occurs. Use other medications as directed by your doctor (such as nitroglycerin tablets placed under the tongue) to treat sudden attacks.

Do not stop taking Verapamil tablet without consulting with a doctor, as some conditions may worsen when the drug is stopped suddenly. A gradual decrease in dose may be required. Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it gets worse (e.g., high, or increased blood pressure readings or chest pain occurring more often).
