Diltiazem is the non-proprietary name of a calcium channel blocker primarily used to treat hypertension, angina, and arrhythmia. Patients also buy Diltiazem for off-label use in preventing cluster headaches, and in cream form to treat anal fissures.

It's possible to buy Diltiazem under a wide variety of brand and generic names, including Cardizem, Dilacorxr, Adizem, Angitil, Slozem, Tildiem, Zemtard, and many others.

This product is also available in a wide range of formulas; one can buy Diltiazem as tablets, capsules, 12-hour capsules, and 24 hour capsules. The notation indicating which is which can vary with the product name; LA, CD, XL, SR, and others all indicate dosage lengths. Clients confused as to which type of Diltiazem to buy are welcome to contact us for clarification.

How it Works

Diltiazem works in two ways:

• It relaxes blood vessel walls, allowing blood to flow freely and reducing the workload of the heart;
• It also works on the heart itself, reducing the rate, force, and conduction speed of each heartbeat.

Combined these two actions lower blood pressure, reduce the frequency and severity of angina, and stabilize arrhythmia.

Those who buy Diltiazem to treat angina should be aware that this is a preventive medication only. While angina attacks may be less frequent, they may still occur. When they do occur, a rescue treatment, such as nitroglycerin, should still be utilized.

Diltiazem is often given with other medications to treat hypertension. In many cases, adding another medication provides greater benefit than further raising dosage of Diltiazem. Additional medications may also be given to help manage angina or arrhythmias, but this is less common than for hypertension.

Regardless, those who buy Diltiazem for any purpose should be aware that this medication can interact with a variety of other medications, both those for cardiovascular conditions and those that are unrelated. Always check with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing treatments.

Treatment Overview

Diltiazem dosage is difficult to summarize, as it depends on the type of Diltiazem being used, the condition being treated, other medications being taken or other conditions present, and so forth. Most patients find 180 to 360 mg per day to be sufficient. How frequently doses are taken again depends on the type of Diltiazem; it ranges from once per day to four times per day.

It takes about 14 days of treatment to see significant results, and in most cases dosage adjustments will not be made until at least 14 days have passed. The exception to this is when blood pressure drops too low, which does sometimes happen; warning signs include:

• Dizziness
• Lightheadedness
• Fainting
• Blurred vision
• Slurred speech
• Fatigue
• Inability to concentrate
• Powerful food cravings

Diltiazem can be taken for as long as it provides benefit, which may be for the remainder of life. Some patients are able to make lifestyle changes that eliminate the underlying issue, but most patients are unable to do so or, if they do, it is not enough on its own to eliminate dependency on medications.

Note that Diltiazem use should not end abruptly, particularly if it has been used over the long-term. Suddenly stopping treatment may have cardiovascular consequences.
