VERAPAMIL DRUG STUDY

Posted By JACK on December 06, 1998 at 01:56:54:







I had triple bi-pass surgery apprx 3 yrs ago at age 48.  They found it before I had any heart damage.  I am on high blood pressure (Monopril 20 mg 1 daily) and cholesteral (Lipitor 40 mg l daily). My Bld pressure has ranged a high of 170/110  upon awakening to a low of 115/79 after 30 min. on the treadmill with a max heart rate of 180.
I have been asked if I'd like to be on a drug study taking Isoptin SR. 240 mg. l tab daily and stay on my Monopril, because of the spikiness of the readings.  
Can you tell me the pro's and con's of this medication.
Thank You.
