    Verapamil Information

    How to Use Verapamil?

    Verapamil injections are given as an infusion into a vein, generally in emergency situations. A healthcare professional will administer this injection. Your heart rate will be monitored constantly to help determine when your heartbeats are returned to normal. 

    Verapamil tablets and capsules are taken by mouth. Follow the directions on your prescription label given by your doctor. Do not take Verapamil in larger or smaller amounts, or for longer than it’s prescribed to you. 

    Don’t use the injection if it has particles in it or if it looks cloudy. Call your pharmacist for a new vial. 

    Always swallow Verapamil tablets and capsules whole, do not break, crush, open, or chew them. While taking Verapamil you will have to have your blood pressure and liver function checked frequently. 

    If you need to go in for surgery, tell the surgeon in advance that you take Verapamil. 

    If you have high blood pressure, keep taking Verapamil, even if you feel well. Patients with blood pressure often do not have symptoms. You will likely have to use blood pressure medication for the remainder of your life.
