I've been prescribed Calan SR 240mg tablets for my high blood pressure and angina. My doctor said it's a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and slow down my heart rate. It's been effective so far, but I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects. Has anyone else experienced serious issues like liver problems or abnormal heartbeats? The serious side effects are scary. Are these common? , the constipation is a real pain in the butt (pun intended) that I wasn't expecting. I’m hoping to find some solutions here. It’s like getting advice from strangers on the internet is better than nothing, right?

Actually, this stuff helped me regulate my heart rhythm issues and feels like I can breathe normally again.

I’m on the same dose and it's been working well for me. I just wish the constipation wasn’t so bad. Has anyone found a particular remedy that works for this?

I’ve been on this medication for a few months and the only side effects I’ve experienced are mild headaches. I take it before bed and it’s helped me sleep better too.

This should be noted but the side effects are generally mild. My doc said everyone responds differently, but I feel like the benefits outweigh the side effects so far. Please take these regularly as directed.

I’ve been on Calan SR for a while now and the constipation is a real pain. I switched to a high-fiber diet and drinking lots of water and it’s helped a lot.
