People often ask, 'What is Tiazac used for?' It may also help prevent chest pain (angina) by improving blood flow to the heart. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine if this medication is suitable for your needs.

Tiazac Extended Release 120 mg capsules are designed to release diltiazem hydrochloride slowly over time. This extended-release formulation aims to provide consistent levels of the medication in the body. Common effects may include dizziness, headache, or swelling in the legs and feet. Some users report feeling lightheaded, especially when standing up quickly. These effects vary and are not experienced by everyone.

Handle Tiazac Extended Release 120 mg capsules with care, as they are designed for oral use only. Store them at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Do not crush or chew the capsules, as this can affect the extended-release mechanism. Always follow the guidance of a healthcare professional regarding the use of this medication. Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Be aware of potential interactions with grapefruit juice, which can affect how your body processes diltiazem.
