Brief Answer: XXXXXXX is verapamil

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Both drugs (verapamil and propanolol) when administered within a few hours of each other cause slowing of heart and irregular heart beat and should not be taken together or taken with caution while measuring heart rates in ICU.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
