Dilzem 30

Dilzem 30 from Torrent contains diltiazem 30 mg, a calcium channel blocker that has been used for decades in heart and blood-pressure care. The 30 mg strength is generally used several times a day under medical guidance.

• Prevention and management of angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart)
• Control of high blood pressure
• Slowing certain fast or irregular heart rhythms, when advised

Diltiazem blocks calcium from entering heart muscle and blood-vessel walls. This relaxes the arteries, so blood pressure drops, and slightly slows the heart, so it needs less oxygen. Both effects reduce the chance of angina and help steady the rhythm.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, swallowed with water. Try to take it at the same times each day so the level in your body stays steady.

• Headache or mild dizziness
• Flushing or ankle swelling
• Slowing of the heart rate
• Constipation or nausea

Tell your doctor if you have low blood pressure, slow heart rate, certain heart-block conditions, liver disease, or are pregnant. Avoid grapefruit juice, which can raise drug levels. Do not stop the medicine suddenly without advice.

Store below 25 degrees Celsius in the strip, away from light and moisture. Keep out of children's reach.
