What is Tarka?

Trandolapril and verapamil is a combination medicine used in adults to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Lowering blood pressure may lower your risk of a stroke or heart attack.

Trandolapril and verapamil may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

You should not use trandolapril and verapamil if you are allergic to it, or if you have:

  • "sick sinus syndrome" or "AV block" (unless you have a pacemaker);
  • very low blood pressure;
  • if your heart cannot pump blood properly;
  • an allergy to any other ACE inhibitor, such as benazepril, captopril, fosinopril, enalapril, lisinopril, moexipril, perindopril, quinapril, or ramipril;
  • certain heart rhythm disorders (such as 'Afib' or atrial flutter, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome); or
  • if you also use flibanserin (Addyi).

You may not be able to use trandolapril and verapamil if you have:

  • severe congestive heart failure.

Do not take trandolapril and verapamil within 36 hours before or after taking medicine that contains sacubitril (such as Entresto).

If you have diabetes, do not take trandolapril and verapamil with any medication that contains aliskiren (a blood pressure medicine).

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

  • low blood pressure;
  • abnormal thickening of the heart muscle;
  • congestive heart failure;
  • a nerve-muscle disorder such as myasthenia gravis or muscular dystrophy;
  • low blood cell counts;
  • diabetes;
  • cirrhosis or other liver disease; or
  • kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis).

You may also need to avoid taking trandolapril and verapamil with aliskiren if you have kidney disease.

Stop using this medicine and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Trandolapril and verapamil can cause injury or death to the unborn baby if you use the medicine during your second or third trimester.

Do not breastfeed.

How should I use Tarka
