AB Calcium  channel  blockers  (CCBs)  are  commonly  used  for  the  treatment  of  hypertension  and  angina  pectoris  and  for  ventricular  rate  control  in  supraventricular  dysrhythmias.  Less  common  uses  include  prophylactic  treatment  of  migraine  headaches,  treatment  of  arterial  vasospasm  due  to  Raynaud's  disease,  esophageal  spasm,  and  pulmonary  hypertension.1  For  the  last  50  years,  CCBs  have  accounted  for  more  poisoning  deaths  than  any  other  cardiovascular  drug  and  are  the  second  most  common  cause  of  prescription  drug  poisoning  death.
