Dilzem-SR Tablet 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. It contains Diltiazem, which works by relaxing the blood vessels in the heart and thereby reducing the raised blood pressure. It eases anginal chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as swelling in the hands, feet, and ankles, headache, dizziness, palpitations, constipation, and indigestion. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
