Calaptin SR 240 mg is an effective treatment for hypertension that lowers blood pressure. It contains the active ingredient Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels, decreasing the workload on the heart. It also elevates the supply of blood and oxygen to the kidney and heart and normalises the electrical impulses. These effects help to lower blood pressure and control the heart rhythm. The medication is equally effective in treating chest pain (angina) and certain heart rhythm conditions (arrhythmias).
How does Calaptin SR 240 mg works?
The active ingredient Verapamil offers an individual a safe and effective therapeutic approach to treating hypertension, arrhythmias, and angina as a member of the calcium channel blockers family. It causes the relaxation of blood vessels, ensuring enhanced blood circulation around the body. Taking this medicine as prescribed contributes towards better health and reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular health complications (stroke, heart attack).
Calaptin SR is not recommended for patients who are allergic to Verapamil or any other ingredients present in the formulation. Patients using beta blockers should not take this drug as it may cause heart blockage and a slow heart rate. Also, avoid this medicine if you have heart failure, severe heart rhythm problems, low blood pressure, a history of slow heart rate, and have Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Do not have grapefruit or grapefruit juice as it may disturb the effects of Verapamil. The tablets should be used with caution in pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. If you experience dizziness after taking Verapamil, avoid driving a vehicle or operating complex machines if you feel dizzy.
Before taking this medicine, let your healthcare provider know if you have kidney or liver problems. Also, let him know if you have very low blood pressure, have recently had a heart attack, have fluids in your lungs or if a significant drop in blood pressure occurs.
The medicine should be used with caution in children and elderly patients.
It is essential to stick to the healthcare provider’s instructions when taking Calaptin 240 SR medicine. The medicine may cause side effects like constipation, nausea, dizziness, low blood pressure, and headache. However, these side effects typically resolve on their own. In case any of these side effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider.
Certain conditions, such as allergies to Verapamil, recent heart attack, low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and other specific heart conditions, may require caution or avoidance of this medicine.
Always report any unwanted symptoms or side effects to your healthcare specialist to ensure appropriate evaluation and treatment.
