What the heck is calcium channel blocker overdose really?

Too much..: Taking too much calcium chamber blockers such as amlodipine, Diltiazem or verapamil. Overdosing can cause low blood pressure sometimes to dangerous levels. Also Diltiazem and verapamil overdosing can cause very low heart beats. Not a good idea to overdose.

Depends: Calcium channel blockers are a group of medications we use to treat hypertension and angina. Even though they belong to the same class the meds in this class have different effects. Any time more drug is taken than a pt should, side effects will be seen. Weather it's an overdose or a pt that's especially sensitive , an over dose of verapamil will cause heart block. If Norvasc (amlodipine) then BP will tank.
