WHAT VERAPAMIL MYLAN
IS USED FOR
Verapamil Mylan tablets are used to
treat:

high blood pressure, also called
hypertension
•
angina (chest pain)
•
some types of arrhythmias

Verapamil Mylan belongs to a group
of medicines called calcium
antagonists or calcium channel
blockers. These medicines work by
opening up blood vessels, causing
blood pressure to fall and letting
more blood and oxygen reach the
heart. Calcium channel blockers also
help control an irregular heartbeat.
Verapamil Mylan does not change
the amount of calcium in your blood
or bones. Calcium in your diet or in
calcium supplements will not
interfere with the way Verapamil
Mylan works.
