Teva-Diltiazem HCl ER 120 mg

Teva-Diltiazem HCL ER 120 MG is an extended-release capsule designed for gradual medication release. It contains diltiazem hydrochloride, a calcium channel blocker used to manage certain heart conditions and blood pressure. This medication is manufactured by Bausch Health, Canada Inc.

Diltiazem hydrochloride is commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain heart rhythm disorders. It works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This extended-release formulation is designed to provide a steady release of the medication over time, which may help maintain consistent levels in the body.

Common effects of diltiazem hydrochloride may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Some users may also experience swelling in the legs or ankles. These effects can vary from person to person and may not affect everyone who takes the medication.

It is important to handle diltiazem hydrochloride with care, especially if you have certain medical conditions such as liver disease or low blood pressure. Always follow the guidance of a healthcare professional when starting or adjusting your medication regimen. Keep the medication out of reach of children and store it as directed.

Diltiazem hydrochloride can interact with other medications, including certain heart medications, blood pressure drugs, and some antibiotics. It is also important to avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as they can affect how the body processes diltiazem. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
