Medicines used to correct irregular heart rhythms, such as quinidine (Quinidex), disopyramide (Norpace), and procainamide (Procan, Pronestyl). The effects of these drugs may increase if used with calcium channel blockers.
Calcium channel blockers are used to treat high blood pressure, to correct abnormal heart rhythms, and to relieve the type of chest pain called angina pectoris.
Yes, remember how the channels let things in only if it is the correct ion or shape. If it is a blocker, than it blocks those ions hence interfering with ions.
Most people who take calcium-channel blockers have no side-effects, or only minor ones. Because of their action to relax and widen arteries, some people develop flushing and headache. These tend to ease over a few days if you continue to take the tablets. Mild ankle swelling is also quite common, particularly with dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers. Constipation is quite a common side-effect, especially with verapamil. You can often deal with this by increasing the amount of fibre that you eat, and increasing the amount of water and other fluids that you drink. Other side-effects are uncommon and include: feeling sick, palpitations, tiredness, dizziness, and rashes. This is not a complete list of all possible known side-effects. Read the information leaflet that comes with your particular brand for a full list of possible side-effects, but be optimistic: don't necessarily be put off taking these tablets. Serious side-effects are rare, and it's wise not to stop calcium-channel blockers without speaking to your doctor.
