DILTIAZONE SR 120 by Steris Healthcare delivers 120 mg of Diltiazem Hydrochloride in a specialized Sustained Release (SR) formulation. Engineered for smooth 24-hour cardiovascular protection, this oral calcium channel antagonist slows the influx of calcium ions into cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells, reducing systemic blood pressure, relieving exertional chest pain, and protecting the heart against excessive arterial spasticity without causing abrupt hemodynamic fluctuations. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Diltiazem Hydrochloride (120 mg): A benzothiazepine non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that inhibits the movement of extracellular calcium ions across cardiac and vascular smooth muscle membranes. It reduces coronary and peripheral vascular resistance, decreases heart rate, and prolongs AV nodal conduction time. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: Comprehensive Blood Pressure Control: Effectively lowers systemic vascular resistance to manage mild-to-moderate essential hypertension on a smooth, continuous basis. Angina Pectoris Relief & Prevention: Prevents chest pain episodes in patients with chronic stable angina and coronary artery spasm (Prinzmetal's angina) by increasing coronary oxygen delivery. Sustained Release Technology: Delivers steady, prolonged drug release over several hours, ensuring stable blood concentration levels and preventing sudden blood pressure spikes or drops. Reduces Myocardial Oxygen Demand: Slows heart rate and decreases cardiac afterload, allowing the heart to pump blood more efficiently with reduced workload. Cardiac Rate Regulation: Provides rate-control support in patients with certain atrial arrhythmias by slowing conduction through the AV node.
कैसे उपयोग करें
Take 1 tablet of DILTIAZONE SR 120 once or twice daily, or strictly as prescribed by your cardiologist or physician. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the sustained-release tablet, as doing so destroys the controlled-release delivery mechanism. Try to take your medication at the same time every day with or without food. Do not stop taking the drug suddenly without consulting your doctor.
