ANGIZEM CD 90MG TABS

Description

Composition: Each capsule contains Diltiazem Hydrochloride 90mg.

Manufacturer: Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Formulation: Extended-release (CD) capsule.

Indications:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.

• Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain): Eases chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries.

• Certain Arrhythmias: May be used to treat abnormal heart rhythms by slowing down the heart rate.

Mechanism of Action: Diltiazem inhibits 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. This makes it easier for blood and oxygen to reach the heart, lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart-related issues.
