When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Verapamil has been reported to decrease neuromuscular transmission in patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and to prolong recovery from the neuromuscular blocking agent, vecuronium. Therapy with verapamil should be administered cautiously in patients with attenuated neuromuscular transmission or myopathy, since these conditions may be exacerbated. A reduced dosage may be appropriate.
