Can The Kidneys Recover From The Verapamil Dosage For High BP ?
Husband on verapamil for high blood pressure. Call today from MD office that creatinine is 1.5 with GFR 52. He was told to cut verapamil dose in half and follow-up in 6 weeks. He has no other health history or on any other medications. I believe his current dose is 25mg. Can his kidneys recover from this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The Creatinine value of 1.5 is not that much problem and it will get corrected soon. Drink plenty of water and monitor whether his urine out put is adequate. Nothing much to worry and the kidneys recover inn a week maximum. Avoid drugs that are toxic to kidney.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
