Calan IV

Calan IV Uses

Verapamil for injection is used to treat certain kinds of irregular heartbeats (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and the fast heart rate due to atrial flutter and fibrillation). Controlling an irregular heartbeat will make you more comfortable and prevent complications. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. It works by controlling the electrical system of the heart which results in slowing of fast heart beats.
