First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This lab study looks at whether verapamil, a common blood pressure medicine, can make antibiotics work better against drug-resistant bacteria. Researchers will test bacteria samples from 100 cancer patients in Egypt. The goal is to find a cheap, new way to fight superbugs, but this is early lab research, not a treatment for patients.
