What Is Verapamil HCL ER 240mg?
Verapamil HCL ER is the extended-release form of verapamil hydrochloride, a calcium channel blocker sold under the brand name Calan SR.

The extended-release tablet is designed to release medication gradually so it can be taken once or twice daily. It is most commonly prescribed to manage hypertension as part of a long-term treatment plan.
