About Dilzem CD-120 Capsule

Dilzem CD-120 Capsule is used to treat mild to moderate hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also indicated in the management of chronic stable angina and angina due to coronary artery spasms. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels, leading to hypertension. Angina or chest pain occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart, which is caused by narrowing or blockage of the heart's arteries (coronary artery).

Dilzem CD-120 Capsule contains 'Diltiazem', which works by relaxing the blood vessels in the heart and thereby reducing the raised blood pressure. Dilzem CD-120 Capsule  eases anginal chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries. As a result, Dilzem CD-120 Capsule helps treat/prevent high blood pressure and angina.

Take Dilzem CD-120 Capsule with or without food. You are advised to take Dilzem CD-120 Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Medicinal Benefits

Dilzem CD-120 Capsule belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines called calcium channel blockers used to treat mild to moderate hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also indicated in the management of chronic stable angina and angina due to coronary artery spasms. Dilzem CD-120 Capsule works by inhibiting the movement of calcium ions across the heart muscle and smooth muscle linings of the blood vessels, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels, making it easier for the blood and oxygen to reach the heart. This, in turn, helps in lowering the blood pressure and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Dilzem CD-120 Capsule  eases anginal chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries.
