Mar-Diltiazem T 360 mg

MAR-DILTIAZEM T 360 MG is an extended-release capsule containing diltiazem hydrochloride, used for managing certain heart conditions. This medication is designed for oral administration and is manufactured by Marcan Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Canada.

MAR-DILTIAZEM T 360 MG is primarily used for the treatment of angina (chest pain) and certain types of irregular heartbeats. Diltiazem hydrochloride, the active ingredient, works by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow. This medication is often prescribed to help prevent angina attacks and manage chronic stable angina. It may also be used to control heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.

Common effects of MAR-DILTIAZEM T 360 MG may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Some users might experience swelling in the hands or feet, flushing, or nausea. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider. Extended-release capsules are designed to release the medication slowly over time, which can help maintain consistent levels in the body.

MAR-DILTIAZEM T 360 MG should be handled with care, especially by individuals with certain medical conditions such as liver disease, low blood pressure, or heart block. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional. Do not crush, chew, or break the extended-release capsules, as this can affect the way the medication is released into the body.

MAR-DILTIAZEM T 360 MG may interact with other medications, including certain heart medications, blood pressure drugs, and antidepressants. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol and grapefruit juice should be avoided while taking this medication, as they can affect its effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects.
