Isoptin 2ml Injection

Isoptin 2ml Injection is an injection made by Imported Companies that contains Verapamil, a calcium channel blocker. It is used for high blood pressure, angina and irregular heartbeat. Pack size: 5 injections.

Uses of Isoptin 2ml Injection

Isoptin 2ml Injection is used to treat high blood pressure and to prevent chest pain from angina. It is also used to control or prevent certain fast heart rhythms, such as supraventricular tachycardia, and to slow the heart rate in atrial fibrillation. Specialists sometimes use it to prevent cluster headaches. It manages these conditions over the long term and works best when taken regularly.

How Isoptin 2ml Injection works

Verapamil blocks calcium from entering the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This relaxes and widens the arteries, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart. It also slows electrical signals through the heart, which reduces the heart rate and its workload.

Possible side effects

Isoptin 2ml Injection can cause side effects in some people. The ones reported most often are:

• Constipation
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Flushing
• Ankle swelling
• Tiredness

Get urgent medical help for fainting, a very slow or irregular heartbeat, worsening breathlessness or swollen ankles, chest pain, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have heart failure, a slow heartbeat, heart block, low blood pressure or liver disease.
• Do not take it with beta-blockers such as atenolol or propranolol unless your specialist has advised it, as the combination can slow the heart dangerously.
• It interacts with many medicines, including digoxin, some statins, ciclosporin, clarithromycin and some antifungals, so check before starting anything new.
• Avoid grapefruit juice, limit alcohol, and do not drive if you feel dizzy.
• A high-fibre diet and plenty of fluids can help with constipation. Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding with your doctor.
