I got a new prescprition for verapamil ER 240 mg fillrd today and it looks completely different then i am used to. These are a dark green capsule with mylan 6440 printed on the capsule. I am use to a long pink/brown pill. Did i get the right medicine? ## Yes, the capsule you received also contains 240mgs of Verapamil in an extended release formulation. Verapamil is a generic medication, so it is actually manufactured by several different companies and it is normal for a pharmacy to switch which one they provide, depending on which company was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock. This is how they keep prices down for customers that don't have insurance. Learn more Verapamil details here. Are there any other questions?

I am currently taking high blood pressure medication - Verapamil, 120 mg...is it alright to take with this medication? Also...is A 45 good for gum inflamation? ## I thought I'd already answered this, but I am unsure if I'm too old to remember if I did and this is a duplicate post, or not. LOL Anyway, the capsule with the A 45 marking contains 500mgs of Amoxicillin, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections. Learn more Amoxicillin details here. And yes, you are find to take it with high blood pressure and with your current medication, Verapamil. As a matter of fact, if you have an infection and don't take the antibiotic, you'd be risking far more dangerous issues than any you risk by taking it. As to the gum inflammation, if it is caused ...

Is Verapamil 120 ER available in a form with no color? ## Hi Anne, Based on your description I'm assuming that you are referring to the color of the pill, is this correct? From what I could gather, there is only one Verapamil 120mg "SR" (slow release) pill that is all white with no color. At least here in the U.S. anyways. The pill I'm referring to is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA. It is white, round, and has the imprint "120" on one side of the pill and on the other side is a logo that has two triangles pointing at each other, much like a little bow-tie. I hope this answers the intent of your question. If not, please post back with additional details and I'll do my best to help you locate an answer. ## Dave, Thank you SO MUCH!. That was exactly wh...

What time of day should I take it? With or without food? ## What has your doctor advised? Normally, they want to take these types of medications in the morning, so it is in your system and working during the peak times of day that you are most active and your BP or heart issues may experience the most fluctuations. It can be taken with, or without food, so you can decide that for yourself, unless your doctor has given you specific instructions. It can cause some nausea, so some people find it better if they take it with food, to help minimize that.

Found this, anyone know what it is? I've search and found nothing. ## Hi Tim, This pill does not show up under any of the U.S. prescription drug databases, so I can't find any information on it. The closest match I found has the imprint "M 411" rather than "M 11". This pill is also oblong and blue with the imprint on one side. The pill I described above is identified as Verapamil hydrochloride SR 240 mg; which is primarily used to treat high blood pressure. Just a thought, but it could be an over the counter medication, as OTC meds aren't required to be listed in the drug databases. I would consider taking the pill over to your local pharmacy and having it analyzed by their team to see what they come up with. I hope this helps!

can this pill be cut in half,i need 360 mg a day,it would save me money if i could do thatNILXQ ## Unfortunately, no. The SR stands for sustained release, which means this is a time released product, so cutting it in half could result in your getting too much of the medication at once. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. This means that getting too much of it could result in severely lowered blood pressure, which can be dangerous. Are there any other questions or comments?

I have been taking Verapamil 240 ER for many years. It works fairly well. But each time I went to get a 90 day supply it kept going up and up! It was some where near $39.00 when I first started taking it. The last two times I got a 90 day supply it was $40.00. ~Then 3 months passed and it was( $47.00 ) for a.3 month supply) It is now time to have it refilled. The Dr. had it changed to Verapamil 120mg (regular Not ER, or slow released) twice a day because of cost being so high!! However I cannot take it. It makes me so dizzy and nauseated !! I called the drug store to see if I still had refills on the verapamil ER. She said they do. But the cost for the verapamil 240 EX had went up substantially. She said it was made by TABZENITH??? And the price now for a 90 day supply would be $167.00!...

My friend is taking verapamil hcl er 120 mg and simvastatin for cholestrol. He has been taking the 2 for five years now. He now lives in NC and the Dr here said they inter act so he is changeing the cholestrol med. Does any one know if this is true? I don't see why the other Dr he went to for years would not know that. Thank you ## Using these 2 medications together can cause increased levels of the Simvastatin in the body, by inhibiting its metabolism through the liver. This does create some risks, however, in some cases a doctor may choose to just make sure they are carefully monitoring the patient and prescribe a lower dosage of the Statin medication. So, it isn't that they can't be used together, it's just that a doctor does have to carefully weight the potential ris...

Can this tablet be split in half for 2 120 Mg doses? ## I'm discussing Verapamil 240 er. ## No, the ER stands for Extended release, so breaking or cutting the tablet is not safe to do, because it could result in your getting too much of the medication at once. ER tablets are designed to slowly release the medication throughout the day, so there is really no need to break them in half and split the dosage. If you feel that it isn't working for the length of time it should and feel that you need to split up the dosage, then you should speak to your doctor about getting a prescription for the regular release tablets. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that is most commonly used to help lower high blood pressure. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and ...

I TAKE VERAPAMIL ER 120 MG AND HAD HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL I ORDER THE LAST PRESCRIPTION. THE BILL CAME BACK AS A BULE OVAL BILL. UP UNTIL NOW I HAVE BEEN TAKING A WHITE PILL WITH TRIANGLES ON THE BACK . SINCE I HAVE TAKEN THE NEW BLUE PILL I SEEM TO HAVE A DRY COUGH. CAN THAT BE FROM THE NEW PILL. I ASK BECAUSE I HAD A REACTION FROM OTHER MEDS AND GOT A DRY COUGH FROM IT. ## Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker used to treat cardiac conditions and hypertension. How long have you been taking it? The problem here may stem from the differences in generic medications. When a company makes a generic, there are actually allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20% in the active ingredient.
