Calan 120mg (Verapamil)

What is Calan 120mg

Calan 120mg is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and certain heart rhythm disorders. It contains verapamil 120mg, a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the muscles in your blood vessel walls and slowing down your heart rate. This helps the heart pump more efficiently while lowering blood pressure and easing symptoms like chest tightness or rapid heartbeat.

Doctors may recommend Calan 120mg when lower doses aren’t enough to manage your condition or when a higher strength is needed for stronger control. Some patients may be switched to calan sr 120mg or verapamil er 120mg for extended release.

You can order Calan 120mg online from Sanford Pharmacy — real, sealed packs shipped fast and priced right. No guesswork, no bad refills, just the medicine your doctor wants you to take.

How Does Calan 120mg Work

Blocks calcium channels in the heart and vessels

The verapamil 120mg mechanism of action is based on slowing down calcium entry into the muscle cells in your heart and arteries. Less calcium means those muscles relax, which opens the arteries wider.

Lowers heart rate and blood pressure

By easing the resistance your heart faces, verapamil 120mg helps your heart beat slower and with less force. This lowers blood pressure and gives your heart a rest, especially during activity.

Improves oxygen delivery

In angina, pain happens when the heart doesn’t get enough oxygen. By relaxing vessels and slowing the heart, calan medication helps the heart get more oxygen and reduces pain episodes.

Doesn’t mess with diet

You can eat normal foods — verapamil and bananas are fine. Unlike other heart meds, it doesn’t raise potassium, so you don’t have to avoid fruits or veggies rich in potassium.

How to Use Calan 120mg

Take as directed

Most people take Calan 120mg two or three times a day. Always follow your doctor’s plan and don’t skip doses. If you need longer effect, your doctor might switch to calan sr 120mg.

Swallow whole

Take your tablet with water, with or without food. Don’t crush or chew unless told to. If you’re switched to verapamil er 120mg, it’s even more important to swallow whole.

Stay consistent

Try to take it at the same times every day. That helps keep the medicine level steady in your blood and gives you better symptom control without ups and downs.

Watch for grapefruit

Avoid grapefruit juice while on Calan 120mg. It can raise verapamil levels in your system too much and cause more verapamil side effects.

🚨 Don’t take Calan without telling your doctor about your full medical history. If you have low blood pressure, severe heart failure, or AV block, verapamil 120mg might not be safe.

🚨 Verapamil pregnancy use should be discussed with your doctor. It’s sometimes used if needed, but only under supervision. Let your provider know if you're pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.

🚨 Be careful when taking other heart meds or beta blockers. They may interact with calan, increasing the risk of low heart rate or strong verapamil side effects.
