Tiazac 240 mg

Tiazac 240 mg capsules are an extended-release formulation of diltiazem hydrochloride, used for managing certain heart conditions. This medication is designed for oral administration and is manufactured by Bausch Health, Canada Inc.

Tiazac 240 mg is primarily used for the treatment of angina (chest pain) and certain types of irregular heartbeats. It works by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow, which can help reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks. This medication is also used to manage high blood pressure, although it is not a first-line treatment for this condition.

Common effects of Tiazac 240 mg may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Some users may experience swelling in the legs or ankles, as well as nausea or constipation. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.

Tiazac 240 mg should be handled with care, especially by individuals with certain medical conditions such as liver disease or low blood pressure. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions to minimize the risk of side effects. This medication should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

Tiazac 240 mg may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and heart medications. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol consumption should be limited while using this medication, as it can enhance the sedative effects.
