verapamil

Verapamil

Verapamil is an L-type calcium channel blocker of the phenylalkylamine class. It has been used in the treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, and most recently, cluster headaches. It was recently found that the administration of Verapamil in angina pectoris is contraindicated, since it increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmia. It is also an effective preventive medication for migraine. Verapamil has also been used as a vasodilator during cryopreservation of blood vessels. It is a class IV antiarrhythmic, more effective than digoxin in controlling ventricular rate and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 1982. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.
