Diltiazem

Diltiazem is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure and certain types of chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily and helps the heart to work more efficiently.

Benefits

• Helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
• Relieves chest pain by improving blood flow to the heart.
• Can be used to manage certain heart rhythm disorders.

How to Use

Take Diltiazem exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken by mouth, with or without food. Follow the dosage instructions carefully and do not alter your dose without consulting your doctor.

Possible Side Effects

• Common side effects may include dizziness, lightheadedness, or fatigue.
• Less common side effects can include nausea, flushing, or headache.
• Contact your doctor if you experience severe side effects such as fainting, slow heartbeat, or unusual tiredness.

Warnings and Precautions

Before taking Diltiazem, inform your doctor if you have any allergies or medical conditions, especially heart problems, liver disease, or kidney disease. Avoid consuming alcohol as it can increase certain side effects. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Diltiazem affects you.
