Verapamil SR is the non-proprietary name for a medication used to treat several cardiovascular conditions, as well as migraine and cluster headaches. The medication can be used in patients age 16 and up, though dosage adjustments may be needed for young or elderly patients.

The SR in Verapamil SR stands for sustained release; this particular product needs to be taken loss often than regular Verapamil tablets, typically once or twice per day. Patients can buy Verapamil SR under a range of brand names, the most widely recognized of which are probably Calan SR, Covera HS, and Isoptin SR.

How Verapamil SR Works

As a calcium channel blocker, Verapamil SR slows the rate at which the heart beats while relaxing and dilating blood vessels. This effectively lowers blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the overall workload of the heart. Patients usually buy Verapamil SR to treat:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Supraventricular tachycardia (rapid heartbeat)
• Angina (chest pain)
• Migraine headaches
• Cluster headaches

Regardless of what condition is being treated, the medication is used similarly; tablets are taken daily over the long-term, perhaps for the remainder of life if underlying issues are not found and addressed.

Verapamil SR has a direct effect on high blood pressure and rapid heartbeat. In treating angina and headaches, the medication is a preventative treatment; it reduces the frequency and severity of episodes, often eliminating them entirely after a few months of treatment. Patients should still keep rescue medications on-hand; do not buy Verapamil SR to treat active angina, migraines, or cluster headaches---it will not provide pain relief.

Dosage & Administration

Verapamil SR comes in tablets, generally taken once or twice per day, always with food. Treatment is typically long term, and other medications may or may not be involved. Personal variables, such as age and weight, can influence dosage levels, as will patient response to treatment.

Treatment usually starts the same:

• Take 180 mg per day in the morning.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole and taken with food.

The initial dose may need to be adjusted; effects should be checked after one week of treatment for hypertension, three to four weeks for other conditions. If adjustments are needed there are several options:

• Take 240 mg once per day in the morning; or
• Take 180 mg in the morning and 180 mg in the evening; or
• Take 240 mg in the morning and 120 mg in the evening; or
• Take 240 mg every 12 hours.

Doses greater than 240 mg per day are typically reserved for heart conditions. For migraines and cluster headaches treatment is more likely 240 mg per day or less, though there may be exceptions. Patients taking Verapamil SR will likely need frequent heart and blood pressure tests until the ideal dosage is established, regardless of why it's being taken.
