CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET
This leaflet answers some common
questions about Isoptin.
It does not contain all the available
information.
It does not take the place of talking to
your doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines have risks and
benefits. Your doctor has weighed
the risks of you taking Isoptin against
the benefits they expect it will have
for you.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT
TAKING THIS MEDICINE, TALK TO YOUR
DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST.

WHAT ISOPTIN IS USED
FOR
There are two types of Isoptin:
•
Isoptin tablets (available as 40 mg
and 80 mg tablets)
•
Isoptin SR (available as 180 mg
and 240 mg tablets)
The letters SR in the name Isoptin
SR stand for "sustained release". This
means the medicine is released into
the blood over an extended period of
time, usually allowing the medicine
to be taken once a day.
Depending on your condition, your
doctor will prescribe Isoptin or
Isoptin SR.
In most parts of this leaflet, the name
Isoptin is used to refer to both Isoptin
tablets and Isoptin SR tablets. Where
there is information specific to the
type of Isoptin, the separate names
are used.
Isoptin and Isoptin SR are used in the
treatment of:
•
high blood pressure, also called
hypertension
•
angina (chest pain)
Isoptin tablets are also used to treat
irregular heartbeats, also called
arrhythmias
Your doctor may have prescribed
Isoptin for another reason. Ask your
doctor if you have any questions
about why Isoptin has been
prescribed for you.
Isoptin and Isoptin SR belong to a
group of medicines called calcium
channel blockers or calcium
antagonists. They work by opening
up blood vessels, which lets more
blood and oxygen reach the heart and
at the same time lowers high blood
pressure. Isoptin tablets also help to
control fast or irregular heartbeats.
Isoptin does not change the amount
of calcium in your blood or bones.
Calcium in your diet or in calcium
supplements will not interfere wit

(score and 2 logos on one face and score on the other face) containing
240 mg verapamil hydrochloride and

Verapamil hydrochloride is present as a racemic mixture and different
activities reside in the two
enantiomers. Verapamil HCl is an almost white, crystalline powder,
practically free of odour, with a bitter
taste. It is soluble in water, sparingly soluble in alcohol, and
practically insoluble in ether. Verapamil HCl
is not chemically related to other cardioactive drugs.
