Film coated tablets - 40 mg

Veprol contains the active substance verapamil hydrochloride.

Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. The mechanism of action consists in inhibiting the entrance of calcium into the cell. Verapamil acts in smooth muscle, myocardial cells, and cells within the sino-atrial and atrioventricular nodes. The main actions of the calcium-channel blockers include dilation of coronary and peripheral arteries and arterioles. Verapamil causes slowing of atrioventricular conduction, reduction of heart rate and a negative inotropic action.

Verapamil is used in the treatment of:

• supraventricular arrhythmias;
• angina pectoris;
• hypertension.
