Verapamil hydrochloride is a prescription medicine that belongs to a group of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It is often prescribed to help regulate heart rhythm, lower blood pressure, and relieve chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It is available in both oral and injectable forms and may be used in adults and children under medical supervision.

This medicine works by slowing the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This helps to relax blood vessels, reduce the heart’s workload, and regulate abnormal heart rhythms.
