Talk:Verapamil

message: ==Untitled==
Typing in phenylalkylamine into wiki search will bring you to a generic basic-chemistry page on amine. However, when you type it into google, it brings you to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel_blocker#Phenylalkylamine" which is the medical version of phenylalkylamine which people will actually be looking for, not some basic chemistry definition of what an amine is. If someone could explain how to change the link so it goes to the above link I provided and not general amines or change it themselves. Also, if someone could get the general phenylalkylamine search to redirect to the above link it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

==Calan==
Calan is the brand name of verapamil. It is a really crappy drug that does nothing at all.  Currently the Wikipedia entry on Calan goes to a Welsh band and there is no disambiguation. Is there some way we can add disambiguation and have Calan redirect here?  I'm not experienced enough to know how to do this.  Thanks.  Clockster (talk) 02:10, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe a "Possible Drug and Food interaction"-section? Kind of like on this website? Also, the possible interactions with grapefruitjuice should be mentioned I think, because it's not that common knowledge yet, including amongst doctors. DodgeK 08:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have been in contact with user:gor_n_bein who added a line that using pure isomers of Verapamil may not cause constipation unlike the racemic mixture. I have been assured that there is a reference through MD Consult, but from what I can gather, it seems that this is still research in progress and no definite conclusions have been reached. I don't have access, so can't check the article. I feel that until we can find a definite reference, the line should stay out. Potkettle (talk) 00:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit Summary from 05Nov2015 

message: I just picked up a prescription for generic drug verapamil for my wife the retail cost was $385.89, the co-pay was $108.00 for 75 capsules.  When my wife first went on vearapmil a 90 day supply cost $6.00.  by my calculations that is an increase of 8,483% for a generic drug.  WHY THE INCREASE?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:586:3:5510:B026:32F2:928C:550A (talk) 15:54, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
