Active Ingredient: Verapamil
Angina pectoris, including Prinzmetal’s angina (coronary spasm, vasospastic angina).
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Oral, 120 milligrams verapamil, 3 to 4 times daily to meals. The maximum allowed total dose is 480 milligrams verapamil daily.
For the treatment of angina, including Prinzmetal’s angina, the usual dose is 120 mg 3 to 4 times daily. Although 80 mg 3 times daily may be adequate in many patients with angina of effort, doses below 120 mg 3 times daily are unlikely to be effective in angina of rest and Prinzmetal’s angina.
Verapamil should be taken preferably with or shortly after meals.
Verapamil should not be taken with grapefruit juice.
