Diltiazem HCL (SR) 60 mg...

Introduction

DILTITAB 60 is a prescription medication containing Diltiazem Hydrochloride 60 mg in sustained release (SR) form, designed for gradual and consistent drug delivery. Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) used primarily in the management of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (chest pain), and certain types of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat).

Diltiazem Hydrochloride 60 mg: Uses

The main uses of Diltiazem Hydrochloride sustained release tablets include:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Helps lower blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack.

• Chronic Stable Angina & Variant Angina: Improves blood flow to the heart, relieving chest pain.

• Atrial Fibrillation or Supraventricular Tachycardia: Helps manage heart rate in rhythm disorders.

• Raynaud’s phenomenon (off-label): Sometimes used in circulation-related disorders.

How DILTITAB 60 Works

Diltiazem works by blocking calcium ions from entering the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This relaxes and widens the blood vessels, reducing the heart's workload and improving oxygen delivery to the myocardium. The sustained-release formulation ensures stable drug levels over time, enhancing therapeutic outcomes with fewer doses.

Dosage and Administration

• Administration: Oral, with or without food.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet. Swallow whole for sustained-release effect.
