The research of an analysis of the cardiac hemodynamic effects of an acute chemical trauma with slow calcium channels blockers (verapamil) shows that the depth of disorder of cardiac hemodynamic parameters and the level and frequency of occurrence of consciousness disorder were determined in 46 patients within the period of 2007–2017 in this nosological form of acute poisoning.

The authors report two cases of Bipolar Affective Disorder which were responsive to Lithium therapy in the past, but could no longer be treated with Lithium due to hyperparathyroidism in the first case and noncompliance in the second. In both cases, successful control of hypomania was achieved with Verapamil, but treatment of depression required the addition of Trazodone. The rationale for employing a calcium channel blocking agent, such as Verapamil, in bipolar illness is reviewed.

We describe a successful, prolonged, inhibition of preterm labor using nifedipine combined with terbutaline in a patient undergoing complicated obstetrical problems. Delivery was delayed for two months and no significant ill effects were observed in the mother or her infant. This case reports the longest duration and the safe use of nifedipine for tocolysis, to date. A review of reports of the use of calcium channel-blockers in preterm labor is also presented.

1. Treatment of monolayers of chick embryo hepatocytes with the calcium channel blocking drugs nifedipine and verapamil resulted in a decrease in the activity of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, an increase in the activity of δ-aminolaevulinate synthase and accumulation of porphyrins with uroporphyrin and heptacarboxylic porphyrin predominating. 2. Diltiazem, another calcium channel blocking drug, did not affect uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity and had a slight effect only on the accumulation of porphyrins. 3. Experiments with nifedipine and verapamil in the presence of various concentrations of calcium indicate that the porphyrogenic effect is apparently not related to blocking of calcium channels.
