A small arrow pointing down

Verapamil HCl 50 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, angina pectoris, and certain types of arrhythmias. This medication may also be beneficial in the management of migraine headaches and cluster headaches. The active ingredient, Verapamil HCl, is a calcium channel blocker that functions by inhibiting the influx of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels.

Certain foods, such as grapefruit juice, may also interact with Verapamil HCl, potentially affecting its efficacy or causing adverse reactions. Therefore, patients are advised to inform their healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and significant dietary habits before starting Verapamil HCl.

This is to ensure the safe and appropriate use of Verapamil HCl 50 mg/ml Oral Suspension.

This medication is presented in a liquid form, offering a more accessible alternative for individuals who find it challenging to swallow pills. The typical dosage is one teaspoonful (5 ml) administered three times daily, or as instructed by your healthcare provider.

Doubling up on doses to compensate for a missed one is not advised.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
