TARKA  (TRANDOLAPRIL; VERAPAMIL HYDROCHLORIDE):  This product is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains 2 medications: trandolapril and verapamil. Trandolapril belongs to a class of drugs known as ACE inhibitors. Verapamil belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. They both work by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.

 1  mild hypertension joint pain, impotence Doctor said I was diabetic (A1c never over 5) and changed to this. Doesn't control my BP even at double dose (2-240 bid), too strong a diuretic element, and impotence at age 53. Firing the Doc and going back to Tenormin or Tenoretic - they worked. M 53 2 years
