1.
WHAT ISOPTIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Isoptin tablets belong to a group of medicines called calcium channel
blockers.
Calcium channel blockers change the amount of calcium getting into the
muscle cells in your
heart and blood vessels. This can change the strength and speed with
which your heart beats. It
also opens up the blood vessels so blood can be pumped around the body
more easily. This
helps more oxygen to get to your heart muscle and can lower your blood
pressure.
Isoptin tablets are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure),
abnormal heart rhythms and
to prevent and treat angina (chest pain) attacks.
The active ingredient in Isoptin tablets is verapamil hydrochloride.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE ISOPTIN TABLETS
DO NOT TAKE ISOPTIN TABLETS IF:

your blood pressure is extremely low as a result of severe heart
problems (such as
during shock)

you have heart failure or second or third degree heart block (impaired
nerve signal in
the heart – causing a very slow heartbeat) or an electrical
abnormality of the heart (atrial
fibrillat

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Prophylaxis and/or treatment of
– Angina pectoris, including Prinzmetal’s angina (coronary spasm,
vasospastic angina).
– Supraventricular tachycardias such as paroxysmal supraventricular
tachycardia, atrial fibrillation/flutter with rapid ventricular
response (except in WPW syndrome or LGL syndrome, see
“Contra‐indications”).
– Mild to moderate essential hypertension.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The dose of verapamil hydrochloride should be adjusted individually in
accordance with the severity of disease. Long‐standing
clinical experience shows that the average daily dose in all
indications is between 240 mg and 360 mg. The daily dose should
not exceed 480 mg on a long‐term basis, although a higher dose may
be used for a short period. There is no limitation on the
duration of use. Verapamil hydrochloride should not be discontinued
abruptly after long‐term use. It is recommended to taper
the dosage.
Isoptin 40mg tablets should be used for patients likely to display a
satisfactory response to low doses (e.g. patients with
hepatic dysfunction or elderly patients). For patients requiring
higher dosages (e.g., 240 mg to 480 mg verapamil hydrochloride
per day), formulations with a more suitable active drug content should
be used.
ADULTS:
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 dail
