Cardizem (Diltiazem) and Cardizem (Diltiazem) CD (a controlled release form of diltiazem) are used in the treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain usually caused by lack of oxygen to the heart due to clogged arteries) and chronic stable angina (caused by exertion). Cardizem (Diltiazem) CD is also used to treat high blood pressure. Another controlled release form, Cardizem (Diltiazem) SR, is used only in the treatment of high blood pressure. Cardizem (Diltiazem), a calcium channel blocker, dilates blood vessels and slows the heart to reduce blood pressure and the pain of angina.
Doctors sometimes prescribe Cardizem (Diltiazem) for loss of circulation in the fingers and toes for involuntary movements (tardive dyskinesia), and to prevent heart attacks.
Tiazac and Dilacor XR are used in the treatment of high blood pressure and chronic stable angina. They may be taken alone or combined with other blood pressure medications.
Cardizem (Diltiazem) should be taken before meals and at bedtime. Cardizem (Diltiazem) CD, Cardizem (Diltiazem) SR, and Dilacor XR should be swallowed whole; do not chew, crush, or divide. Tiazac capsules may be swallowed whole or opened and sprinkled on a spoonful of applesauce. Swallow the applesauce immediately, without chewing, and wash it down with a glass of cool water.
