DILTIAZEM is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. It reduces blood pressure and improves heart function by dilating blood vessels and reducing the workload of the heart. DILTIAZEM is also used to treat angina and cardiac arrhythmias. Usually given as an oral pill or capsule once daily or as recommended by your doctor. When using DILTIAZEM, you should follow your doctor's advice and do not adjust the dosage or discontinue use on your own. Possible side effects include dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea, and edema. If you have serious side effects (such as an irregular heartbeat or difficulty breathing), you should seek medical attention immediately. Avoid using grapefruit juice with DILTIAZEM as it may increase the concentration of the drug. If you have any questions or concerns, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Instructions for use: The drug should be taken orally, 1 to 3 times a day, depending on the doctor's advice. Best taken at the same time each day, with or without food, depending on individual tolerance. You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking it as it may affect the effectiveness of the medicine. While taking this medication, you should avoid drinking alcohol or participating in activities that require high alertness.
Dosing Guidelines: For adults, the starting dose is usually 30 mg to 60 mg two to four times daily. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your condition, but the maximum dose should not exceed 360 mg per day. For children, dosage will be based on age and weight and should be determined by your doctor. In any case, patients should strictly follow the doctor's advice and should not adjust the dosage or stop using the drug on their own.
DILTIAZEM is a commonly used drug to lower blood pressure and treat arrhythmia, but it has some side effects. The most common include dizziness, headache and muscle weakness. Some serious side effects include a fast heartbeat, chest pain and difficulty breathing. Some people may experience digestive problems such as diarrhea or constipation while taking DILTIAZEM. If you experience serious side effects or experience any discomfort, you should consult your doctor immediately. Before seeing a doctor, remember to tell the doctor clearly about your drug allergies and use of other drugs.
