Consumer:

The controlled-onset, extended-release formulation of verapamil (Covera-HS) contains a non-deformable material. There have been rare reports of obstructive symptoms in patients with known strictures following the ingestion of similar sustained-release products. Therapy with the controlled-onset, extended-release formulation of verapamil should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting severe gastrointestinal narrowing or obstruction, whether pathologic or iatrogenic.
