About Dilzem-CD 180 Capsule

Dilzem-CD 180 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 180 Capsule contains 'Diltiazem', which works by relaxing the blood vessels in the heart and thereby reducing the raised blood pressure. Dilzem-CD 180 Capsule  eases anginal chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries. As a result, Dilzem-CD 180 Capsule helps treat/prevent high blood pressure and angina.

Take Dilzem-CD 180 Capsule with or without food. You are advised to take Dilzem-CD 180 Capsule as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.
