Active Ingredient: Verapamil
The management of mild to moderate hypertension and renal hypertension, used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive therapy.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Oral
120 - 480 mg
From 60 To 240 mg 2 time(s) per day every day
240 mg daily. For patients new to verapamil therapy, the physician should consider halving the initial dose to 120 mg. Most patients respond to 240 mg daily given as a single dose. If control is not achieved after a period of at least one week, the dosage may be increased to a maximum of 480 mg (240 mg in the morning and 240 mg in the evening at an interval of about twelve hours). A further reduction in blood pressure may be achieved by combining verapamil with other antihypertensive agents, in particular diuretics. Half verapamil may be used for dose titration purposes.
