Hi! I have angina. Doctor prescribed me Verapamil. Tell me what you know about calcium channel blockers.
Hi! These drugs lower blood pressure. They also relax the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle, and may be prescribed for people who have angina caused by coronary artery disease. Medications commonly used for these conditions include nicardipine, diltiazem, nifedipine, amlodipine, and verapamil. Usually, calcium channel blockers cause very few side effects, headache, and dizziness redness in the face. I take vearapamil more than year and I didn’t have angina attack, but you must take your medication regularly.
