Gallopamil is a calcium channel blocker medicine used to treat high blood pressure. It can also be used to treat chest pain, irregular heartbeat and other heart conditions. It works by blocking the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels, which relaxes the blood vessels and allows the heart to beat more slowly and with less force. Common side effects of Gallopamil include dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, and headache.
Gallopamil is a medication classified as an L-type calcium channel blocker. It is similar to verapamil but has an added methoxy group . This medication is used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, specifically a condition called angina pectoris, which causes chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart.
Gallopamil works by relaxing the muscles of the heart and blood vessels. This allows the heart to beat more easily and reduces blood pressure.
