DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE 120 mg/1

Diltiazem Hydrochloride 120 mg Extended Release Capsules are a calcium channel blocker used to manage certain heart conditions and high blood pressure. This extended-release formulation provides sustained relief throughout the day.

Diltiazem Hydrochloride is primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart rhythm disorders. It works by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow, which can help reduce the workload on the heart. This medication is often prescribed to manage angina (chest pain) and to control heart rate in conditions like atrial fibrillation.

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

Diltiazem Hydrochloride should be used with caution in individuals with liver disease, heart failure, or low blood pressure. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to stop taking the medication abruptly without medical advice. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Diltiazem Hydrochloride can interact with various medications, including other blood pressure drugs, certain heart medications, and some antibiotics. It is also important to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can increase the levels of Diltiazem in the blood. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
