DILTITAB CD 90 
Diltiazem Hydrochloride SR (Sustained Release) Capsules 90mg

DILTITAB CD 90 is a form of diltiazem that is designed to release the drug into the body more slowly over time. DILTITAB CD allows for more consistent blood levels of the medication with fewer doses compared to immediate-release formulations, which can help improve patient compliance and maintain a more stable therapeutic effect. DILTITAB CD is a calcium channel blocker that affects the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. As a result, it relaxes blood vessels and decreases the heart's workload, making it effective for treating high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (chest pain), and certain types of heart rhythm disorders.

Mechanism of Action

DILTITAB CD works by inhibiting the calcium ion influx across the cell membrane of cardiac and arterial smooth muscle cells. The specific actions include:

Vasodilation: It causes dilation of the coronary and peripheral blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and can reduce angina.
Cardiac Effects: It decreases heart rate and can slow the conduction of the heart, which is beneficial in treating certain arrhythmias.
 

Indications

Hypertension: Used to manage high blood pressure, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensives.
Angina Pectoris: Helps prevent chest pain associated with coronary artery disease.
Cardiac Arrhythmias: Particularly effective in the management of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs), including atrial fibrillation and flutter, by controlling the heart rate.
Dosage and Administration

The dosage of DILTITAB CD varies based on the condition being treated, patient response, and specific product formulation. It is crucial to follow the prescribing information for the specific brand and formulation being used. Typically, it is taken once or twice a day, with or without food. The capsule should not be crushed or chewed, as this could affect the sustained-release properties.

Side Effects

Common side effects of DILTITAB CD include:

Dizziness
Headache
Flushing
Edema (swelling of the ankles or feet)
Fatigue
Serious but less common side effects can include:

Heart block or severe bradycardia (slow heart rate)
Hypotension (low blood pressure)
Hepatic dysfunction
Drug Interactions
Diltiazem can interact with several other drugs, potentially leading to increased side effects or decreased effectiveness of one or more of the involved medications. Notable interactions include:

Beta-blockers: Can enhance the cardiac effects of diltiazem, increasing the risk of bradycardia or heart block.
Digoxin: Diltiazem can increase serum digoxin levels, raising the risk of digoxin toxicity.
Statins: Diltiazem can raise the levels of certain statins, increasing the risk of muscle problems, including rhabdomyolysis.
Monitoring and Precautions
Patients taking Diltiazem SR should be monitored for effectiveness in controlling blood pressure, chest pain, or heart rhythm disorders, as well as for potential side effects, particularly those affecting cardiac function. Liver function tests may be recommended as part of monitoring for those on long-term therapy due to the potential for hepatic effects.

It's important for patients to communicate with their healthcare provider about all medications they're taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions. Adjustments in dosage or medication may be necessary based on the individual's response and any side effects experienced.
