Home » Prescription Drugs 3 » CALAPTIN Calan Verapamil is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) chest pain (angina) and certain types of irregular heartbeat. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes heart attacks and kidney problems. When used regularly verapamil can decrease the number and severity of episodes of chest pain from angina. It can also control your heart rate if you have a fast/irregular heartbeat. Verapamil is called a calcium channel blocker. It works to control blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily helping the heart work less hard to pump blood through your body. This effect along with the relaxation of narrowed heart blood vessels may also relieve the symptoms of angina. Verapamil also lowers a fast/irregular heartbeat making you more comfortable and better able to participate in daily activities.OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional.

View more Prescription Drugs 3 Pharmacy: Dozens of patents for name-brand drugs are due to expire within the next 14 months, and generic drugs will replace some of the most popular and widely advertised drugs used today. For millions of people worldwide, this means switching from familiar brands like Lipitor to generic equivalents. How will this affect drug companies, and what will be the impact on people who depend on expensive prescription medication? Here, a brief guide: Which drugs are scheduled to go generic? Some real blockbusters. "In the next two years, six of the 10 top-selling drugs will lose their patents," says Chris Woolston in the Los Angeles Times. Lipitor, the world's best-selling drug, which is used to lower cholesterol, will be available as a generic in November of this year. Another best-seller, the blood thinner Plavix, will lose its patent in May 2012. Other well-known drugs with expiring patents include the arthritis treatment Enbrel, the anti-psychotic Zyprexa, as well as drugs for bipolar disorder, HIV, high cholesterol, and other conditions.
