You should not use this medicine if you have a serious heart condition such as "sick sinus syndrome" or "AV block" (unless you have a pacemaker), Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, or Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome.

How should I take Trandolapril and verapamil

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;

Do not breastfeed.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at one time.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

Overdose symptoms may include slow heart rate, weak pulse, muscle weakness, tingly feeling, seizures, feeling light-headed, or fainting.

What should I avoid while using Trandolapril and verapamil?

Drinking alcohol with this medicine can cause side effects.

Do not take potassium supplements or use salt substitutes, unless your doctor has told you to.

Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise, in hot weather, or by not drinking enough fluids. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
