Warnings

The combination of verapamil and trandolapril is used to treat high blood pressure. It is a combination of two medications. It decreases certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly. It also relaxes your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard.

This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

The combination of verapamil and trandolapril comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day. The tablet should be swallowed whole. Do not chew, divide, or crush the tablets. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take verapamil and trandolapril exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

The combination of verapamil and trandolapril controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take verapamil and trandolapril even if you feel well. Do not stop taking verapamil and trandolapril without talking to your doctor.
