Cardizem (Diltiazem/Dilatam) and Cardizem SR (Adizem CD/Dilatam SR) (generic name: diltiazemare prescribed to treat high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) and angina pectoris (chest pain due to blockage or structural damage to the heart muscle. Diltiazem belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It can reduce the strength of heart muscle contractions and lower the heart rate by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular node, which increases the time needed for each heartbeat. This is done by preventing calcium from entering the heart and blood vessel cells and relaxing the smooth muscles in the walls of the blood arteries. Each of these effects results in reduced oxygen consumption by the heart’s muscles. There are different forms of diltiazem. Cardizem ( also Diltiazem/Dilatam) is designed for extended release and may be taken more than once each day. Cardizem SR (also Adizem CD/Dilatam SR) is designed to release the active ingredient slowly so that it works over 24 hours and can be taken once a day. CD stands for “Controlled delivery”, and SR stands for “Sustained Release”.

Dosage

The medication should be taken as directed by the doctor. The usual dosage is one or two tablets per day of the extended release version or once every 24 hours for the CD or SR version. It should be taken by mouth with or without meals. Don’t take more than the prescribed dose. Don’t chew or crush the capsule or its contents, since this may cause rapid release of the active ingredient, leading to overdose and severe problems. Take the dose at roughly the same time every day. If taking the medicine has been delayed by more than 4 hours, consult with a doctor regarding the continuation of treatment. Even if the state of health improves, do not stop treatment with the medicine without first consulting a doctor.

Storage

Store the capsules in their original packaging at or below 25ºCelsius / 77ºF, away from moisture, light, and heat. The medication should be kept out of the sight and reach of young children. Please read our friendly tips on handling medicine safely.

Q&A

What are the typical uses of diltiazem?
Diltiazem is commonly prescribed either on its own or in combination with other medications to manage severe chest pain (angina) or high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure can increase the strain on the heart and blood vessels. Prolonged high blood pressure can lead to malfunction of the heart and arteries.
How long should one continue taking diltiazem?
For anyone using diltiazem to control blood pressure or angina, it is usually recommended for long term use – potentially for life. Consult a doctor before discontinuing diltiazem. Ceasing its use could result in a rise in blood pressure increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
What signs might suggest that an individual is receiving a dose of diltiazem?
A slow heart rate may not always be a cause of concern. However, if a person experiences symptoms like fatigue or difficulty breathing, inform a healthcare provider promptly. These signs could indicate that the dosage of diltiazem is too high.
