Ask about productDescription
Dilzem SR 90 mg is a sustained-release medication containing diltiazem hydrochloride, which belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. These medicines work by inhibiting the movement of calcium ions into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This action leads to several beneficial effects:
- Vasodilation: It relaxes and widens blood vessels, including the coronary arteries (which supply blood to the heart). This allows blood to flow more easily throughout the body and to the heart.
- Reduced Cardiac Workload: By relaxing blood vessels and slowing the heart rate, diltiazem reduces the effort the heart needs to pump blood.
- Improved Blood and Oxygen Supply: The widening of blood vessels increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle.
The “SR” in Dilzem SR indicates “sustained release” or “slow release.” This formulation is designed to release the active ingredient, diltiazem, gradually over a prolonged period (typically 12 or 24 hours). This controlled release helps maintain a consistent level of the medication in the bloodstream, providing a more stable therapeutic effect and often allowing for less frequent dosing (e.g., once or twice daily).
Dilzem SR 90 mg is available as a prolonged-release hard capsule or tablet that should be swallowed whole and not crushed, chewed, or broken. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s often recommended to take it at a fixed time each day to maintain consistency.
Short Uses:
Dilzem SR 90 mg is primarily used to treat and manage:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): It helps lower elevated blood pressure, reducing the risk of complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.
- Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain): It prevents and treats chest pain caused by the narrowing of blood vessels in the heart, improving exercise tolerance and reducing the frequency and severity of angina attacks. This includes chronic stable angina and angina due to coronary artery spasms.
- Certain types of Arrhythmia (Irregular Heartbeats): It can help manage some abnormal heart rhythms.
