DILZEM 60MG (Diltiazem (60mg))

Dilzem 60 mg Tablet CR is indicated for the management of angina, which involves pain in the chest due to heart-related issues, as well as for addressing high blood pressure and certain forms of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeats. This medication functions as a calcium channel blocker, which aids in the relaxation of blood vessels, subsequently lowering blood pressure and easing the strain on the heart. It is recommended to take Dilzem at a consistent time each day, either with food or on an empty stomach, according to your healthcare provider’s instructions. It is important to continue the medication even if you start to feel better, as abrupt cessation may lead to a worsening of your condition. Dilzem should be viewed as a component of a broader treatment strategy that encompasses a nutritious diet, routine physical activity, and weight management, all guided by your physician. Side effects may occur, including headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, flushing, constipation, and rash, typically mild and transient. If any side effects persist or cause concern, you should reach out to your healthcare professional. Exercise caution with activities that require alertness, such as driving, as this medication can induce drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid consuming alcohol while on this medication, as it may exacerbate side effects.
