“…Additionally, it takes 1 to 2 hours to reach peak plasma concentration after oral administration [35]. Acute overdose is often manifested by nausea, asthenia, bradycardia, dizziness, hypotension and cardiac arrhythmia [36]. Furthermore, verapamil, in a dose dependent manner, has been associated with an increased risk of cancer in the elderly, as reported in the Rotterdam study [37].…”

In particular, nondihydropyridines, such as diltiazem or verapamil, are more dangerous than dihydropyridines because of the consequent peripheral vasodilation and cardiotoxicity associated with bradycardia and hypotension (3,4). Previous retrospective observational studies reported that, of 48 patients with verapamil or diltiazem overdose, three patients presented with acute tubular necrosis diagnosed based on the clinical situation (5).…”
