Isoptin SR (verapamil), a blood pressure/heart medication, can make you dizzy or hamper your ability to think and react. Use caution when driving or doing other hazardous tasks. Avoid getting up too quickly from a lying or sitting position. Never stop taking Isoptin SR suddenly. If you are taking Isoptin SR for hypertension, keep taking it even if you feel fine. Follow your doctor's instructions about exercise and food while taking Isoptin SR. You may need to avoid alcohol and grapefruit, as they can interact with the drug. Ask your healthcare provider what your heart rate and blood pressure should be while you are taking Isoptin SR, and check them regularly.
