Calaptin 40 Tablet

Calaptin 40 Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), angina pectoris, and arrhythmias. Hypertension is a condition in which there is a persistent rise in blood pressure levels. Angina pectoris (angina) is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart due to blockage or narrowing of blood vessels supplying the heart. Arrhythmia is a condition in which your heart beats irregularly, too fast or too slow. Calaptin 40 Tablet contains ‘Verapamil’, which belongs to the class of ‘calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, decreasing the workload on the heart. It also increases the blood and oxygen supply to the heart, thereby normalizing the electrical impulses.
