Results for tag: "Gallopamil"

Gallopamil is a class of cardiovascular drugs used to treat hypertension, angina, and arrhythmias. It is a calcium channel blocker, meaning it works by blocking the influx of calcium ions into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This reduces the force of contraction of the heart and the constriction of the blood vessels, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. Gallopamil is also used to treat certain types of chest pain, and to prevent certain types of heart rhythm disorders. Gallopamil is available in both generic and brand-name formulations. It is available in tablet, capsule, and liquid forms, and is usually taken once or twice daily. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, and fatigue. The Gallopamil market is highly competitive, with many pharmaceutical companies offering their own formulations of the drug. Some of the major players in the market include Pfizer, Novartis, Sanofi, Merck, and GlaxoSmithKline. Show Less Read more
