Effect of verapamil on ionized calcium excretion in human parotid saliva.
The effect of Verapamil on ionized calcium transport in the parotid gland and duct system was investigated in eight male volunteers. Transepithelial Ca++-transport was inhibited, as shown by markedly enhanced excretion of calcium in parotid saliva.
