Diltiazem Hydrochloride 120 mg/1

Diltiazem Hydrochloride 120 mg extended-release capsules are designed for controlled blood pressure management and angina relief. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain due to coronary artery disease.

Diltiazem Hydrochloride is primarily used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension) and preventing angina (chest pain). It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This medication is often prescribed for long-term use to maintain stable blood pressure levels and reduce the frequency of angina episodes.

Common effects of Diltiazem Hydrochloride may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Some users might experience swelling in the legs or ankles. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider.

Diltiazem Hydrochloride should be handled with care, especially by individuals with liver disease, heart conditions, or those who are pregnant. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and avoid sudden discontinuation. Always store the medication in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Diltiazem Hydrochloride may interact with other medications, including certain heart medications, antibiotics, and antifungal drugs. It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Consuming alcohol while taking this medication can also increase the risk of side effects.
