Verapamil is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain heart rhythm disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the heart's workload. This helps improve blood flow and lowers blood pressure. In addition to its cardiovascular uses, Verapamil can also be prescribed for migraine prevention and to manage certain types of headaches. It is available in various forms, including tablets and injections, and should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
