Hello,
* The raised dose of Verapamil do pause following effects as
- abdomen pain
- nausea and bloating
- vomiting
- hot flashes
- dizziness
- palpitation

* The flu is not a commonly narrated side effect of the same.
* The topical onexton is not responsible for the above said issues as it is not getting systemic absorption.
