The name of your medicine is Verapamil Rosemont 40mg/5ml Oral Solution (called Verapamil in this leaflet). It contains verapamil hydrochloride. This belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers. The heart muscle and the muscle in your blood vessel walls need calcium to contract and tighten.

Verapamil stops calcium from getting into these muscles. This:

■    relaxes your heart and blood vessels

■    makes your heart pump out less blood every time it beats

■    slows down your heart rate (pulse).

Verapamil can be used to:

■    treat high blood pressure (hypertension)

■    treat chest pain (angina)

■    treat heart rhythm problems such as heart flutter (supraventricular tachycardia).

2. Before you take Verapamil Rosemont

■    you have second- or third-degree atrioventricular block or sino-atrial block. This is a disorder where parts of your heart may beat at the wrong time causing it not to pump blood around the body very well

■    you have a heart beat disorder, such as sick sinus syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome

■    you have a problem where your heart beats very slowly (severe bradycardia), unless you have been fitted with a pacemaker

■    you have an inherited blood disorder known as porphyria
