Cardizem Prescription
Cardizem and Cardizem CD (a controlled release form of diltiazem) are prescribed in the treatment of angina
pectoris (chest pain usually caused by lack of oxygen to the heart due to clogged arteries). Cardizem, Cardizem CD,
and Cardizem LA (an extended-release, once-a-day tablet form of diltiazem) are prescribed to control chronic stable
angina (caused by exertion). Cardizem CD and Cardizem LA are also prescribed to treat high blood pressure. Another
controlled release form, Cardizem SR, is prescribed only in the treatment of high blood pressure. Cardizem, a calcium
channel blocker, dilates blood vessels and slows the heart to reduce blood pressure and the pain of angina.
Doctors sometimes prescribe Cardizem for loss of circulation in the fingers and toes (Raynaud's phenomenon), for
involuntary movements (tardive dyskinesia), and to prevent heart attack.
Tiazac and Dilacor XR are prescribed in the treatment of high blood pressure and chronic stable angina. They may be
taken alone or combined with other blood pressure drugs.
If you are taking Cardizem for high blood pressure, remember that it does not cure the problem; it merely controls it.
You may need to take a blood pressure drug for the rest of your life.
If you are taking Cardizem for angina, do not stop suddenly. This can lead to an increase in your attacks.
