Calaptin 40mg

Calaptin 40 mg (Verapamil) is a drug given in hypertension-like conditions. It belongs to the category of calcium channel blockers. It aids in smooth arterial blood flow and reduces blood pressure. Verapamil is given for hypertension, chronic stable angina and other heart-associated problems. It also treats chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and other cardiovascular conditions like cardiomyopathy. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that stops the influx of calcium ions through L-type calcium channels. Inhibiting the entry of calcium channel decrease the contractility of arterial smooth muscles and promotes vasodilation. This all leads to the relaxation of blood vessels and aids in smooth arterial blood flow. In this way, it reduces the overall blood pressure.
