Cardizem CD

Generic name: Diltiazem hydrochloride
Brand names: Tiazac, Dilacor XR, Cardizem SR, Cardizem LA, Cardizem CD, Cardizem

Why is Cardizem CD prescribed?

Cardizem CD and Cardizem CD CD (a controlled release form of diltiazem) are used in the treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain usually caused by lack of oxygen to the heart due to clogged arteries). Cardizem CD, Cardizem CD CD, and Cardizem CD LA (an extended-release, once-a-day tablet form of diltiazem) are used to control chronic stable angina (caused by exertion). Cardizem CD CD and Cardizem CD LA are also used to treat high blood pressure. Another controlled release form, Cardizem CD SR, is used only in the treatment of high blood pressure. Cardizem CD, a calcium channel blocker, dilates blood vessels and slows the heart to reduce blood pressure and the pain of angina.

Doctors sometimes prescribe Cardizem CD for loss of circulation in the fingers and toes (Raynaud"s phenomenon), for involuntary movements (tardive dyskinesia), and to prevent heart attack.

Tiazac and Dilacor XR are used in the treatment of high blood pressure and chronic stable angina. They may be taken alone or combined with other blood pressure medications.

Most important fact about Cardizem CD

If you are taking Cardizem CD for high blood pressure, remember that it does not cure the problem; it merely controls it. You may need to take a blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.

If you are taking Cardizem CD for angina, do not stop suddenly. This can lead to an increase in your attacks.

How should you take Cardizem CD?

Cardizem CD should be taken before meals and at bedtime. Cardizem CD CD, Cardizem CD LA, Cardizem CD SR, and Dilacor XR should be swallowed whole; do not chew, crush, or divide. Tiazac capsules may be swallowed whole or opened and sprinkled on a spoonful of applesauce. Swallow the applesauce immediately, without chewing, and wash it down with a glass of cool water.

Take Cardizem CD exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms have disappeared.

--If you miss a dose...

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it"s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.

--Storage instructions...

Cardizem CD should be stored at room temperature; protect from moisture.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Cardizem CD.

  • More common side effects may include:
    Abnormally slow heartbeat (more common with Cardizem CD SR, Cardizem CD LA, and Cardizem CD CD), dizziness, fatigue, fluid retention, flushing (more common with Cardizem CD SR, Cardizem CD LA, and Cardizem CD CD), headache, nausea, rash, weakness

Why should Cardizem CD not be prescribed?

If you suffer from "sick sinus" syndrome or second- or third-degree heart block (various types of irregular heartbeat), you should not take diltiazem unless you have a ventricular pacemaker. Also avoid diltiazem if you"ve just suffered a heart attack or have lung congestion.

Do not take diltiazem if you have low blood pressure or an allergy to the drug.

Special warnings about Cardizem CD

This medication may cause your heart rate to become too slow. You should check your pulse regularly.
