Indikazzjonijiet terapewtiċi:

Verapamil Hydrochloride Injection, USP is indicated for the following: - Rapid conversion to sinus rhythm of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias, including those associated with accessory bypass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White [W-P-W] and Lown-Ganong-Levine [L-G-L] syndromes). When clinically advisable, appropriate vagal maneuvers (e.g., Valsalva maneuver) should be attempted prior to verapamil hydrochloride administration. - Temporary control of rapid ventricular rate in atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation except when the atrial flutter and/or atrial fibrillation are associated with accessory bypass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White (W- P-W) and Lown-Ganong-Levine (L-G-L) syndromes). In controlled studies in the United States, about 60% of patients with supraventricular tachycardia converted to normal sinus rhythm within 10 minutes after intravenous verapamil hydrochloride. Uncontrolled studies reported in the world literature describe a conversion rate of about 80%. About 70% of patients with atrial flutte

DESCRIPTION
Verapamil Hydrochloride is calcium antagonist or slow channel
inhibitor. Verapamil
Hydrochloride Injection, USP is available in 5 mg/2 mL and 10 mg/4 mL
single dose vials
(for intravenous administration). Each 1 mL of solution contains 2.5
mg verapamil HCl
and 8.5 mg sodium chloride in water for injection. Hydrochloric acid
and/or sodium
hydroxide is used for pH adjustment. The pH of the solution is 4.9
(4.0 to 6.5). Protect
contents from light. Verapamil Hydrochloride Injection, USP vials are
sterile.
The structural formula of verapamil HCl USP is given below:
Benzeneacetonitrile, α-[3-[[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]
methylamino]propyl]-3,4-
dimethoxy-α-(1-methylethyl) hydrochloride
Molecular weight: 491.07

• HCl
Verapamil HCl USP is an almost white, crystalline powder practically
free of odor, with a
bitter taste. It is soluble in water, chloroform and methanol.
Verapamil HCl is not
chemically related to other antiarrhythmic drugs.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
MECHANISM OF ACTION: Verapamil inhibits the calcium ion (and possibly
sodium ion)
influx through slow channels into conductile and contractile
myocardial cells and
vascular smooth muscle cells. The antiarrhythmic effect of verapamil
appears to be due
to its effect on the slow channel in cells of the cardiac conduction
system. The
vasodilatory effect of verapamil appears to be due to its effect on
blockade of calcium
channels as well as α receptors.
In the isolated rabbit heart, concentrations of verapamil that
markedly affect SA nodal
fibers or fibers in the upper and middle regions of the AV node have
very little effect on
fibers in the lower AV node (NH region) and no effect on atrial action
potentials or His
bundle fibers.
Electrical activity in the SA and AV nodes depends, to a large degree,
upon calcium influx
through t
