How Cardizem SR 90 works
Cardizem SR 90 is a calcium channel blocker. It blocks the action of calcium on the heart and blood vessels, thereby widening the blood vessels and allowing more blood and oxygen to reach the heart. This reduces blood pressure and decreases the chances of angina (chest pain).
Quick Tips
- Dilzem 30 Tablet CR slows down the heartbeat and allows the blood vessels in the body to relax.
- This helps prevent angina attacks (chest pain caused by heart disease), certain abnormal heart rhythms, stroke and heart attack.
- It may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
- It may cause you to feel lightheaded or weak especially when you stand up (orthostatic hypotension). Rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.
- It is best to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Dilzem 30 Tablet CR as it may make the side effects worse.
- Do not stop taking it suddenly without talking to your doctor first.

Renal Dose
Renal Impairment
Use caution
Contraindication
Sick-sinus syndrome; 2nd or 3rd ° AV block; porphyria. Severe congestive cardiac failure; marked bradycardia. Pregnancy and lactation.
Mode of Action
Diltiazem relaxes coronary vascular smooth muscles by inhibiting influx of calcium ions during depolarisation of the vascular smooth muscles and myocardium. It increases myocardial O2 delivery in patients with vasospastic angina and inhibits cardiac conduction, particularly at the SA and AV nodes.
Precaution
Elderly. Hepatic or renal impairment; impaired left ventricular function; prolonged AV periods; DM; hypotension. Avoid abrupt withdrawal and long-term use. Patients with sick-sinus syndrome, preexisting AV block, bradycardia and those taking beta-blockers or digitalis are at risk of developing AV block, bradycardia, asystole or sinus arrest.
Lactation: Drug enters breast milk; because of risk for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from diltiazem, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother
