Cardizem La Information:
What is Cardizem LA?
Cardizem LA contains a drug called diltiazem, which is a calcium channel blocker. It works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions which relaxes smooth muscle tissue in the heart to reduce blood pressure. It helps to manage angina, or chest pain, by dilating coronary arteries which prevents spasms. It also reduces the heart’s demand for oxygen.
How do I take Cardizem LA?
Cardizem LA comes in the form of tablets or capsules to be taken orally. It is normally taken once per day at the same time every day. Do not crush, chew or break Cardizem LA tablets, as this can destroy the extended-release mechanism. Take the pills with a full glass of water. Always follow your doctor’s dosing instructions.
