Diltiazem

Pronunciation: dil-TYE-a-zem
Generic Name: Diltiazem
Brand Name: Cardizem

Diltiazem is used for:

Treating supraventricular tachycardia, a rhythm disturbance of the heart. It is also used for controlling heart rate response to other rhythm disturbances, specifically atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker. It works by slowing the electrical conduction in the heart, slowing heart rate, and/or normalizing heart rhythm.

Do NOT use Diltiazem if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in Diltiazem


• you have certain heart problems (eg, sick sinus syndrome, second- or third-degree heart block) and do not have a pacemaker, or you have very low blood pressure


• you have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and a pre-excitation syndrome (extra conduction pathway in the heart), such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) or Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome (LGL)


• you are receiving an injectable beta-blocker (eg, metoprolol) or erythromycin

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Diltiazem:

Some medical conditions may interact with Diltiazem. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

• if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement


• if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances


• if you have heart failure, a recent heart attack with lung congestion, heart block, a very slow heart rate, abnormal heart rhythm, or other heart problems


• if you have low blood pressure or kidney or liver disease


• if you are taking other medicines for high blood pressure or heart conditions

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Diltiazem. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

• Antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, dronedarone), cimetidine, clonidine, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, atazanavir, indinavir), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, desipramine) because they may increase the risk of Diltiazem's side effects, such as heart rhythm problems


• Benzodiazepines (eg, midazolam), beta-blockers (eg, metoprolol), buspirone, carbamazepine, cilostazol, cisapride, colchicine, corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), cyclosporine, digoxin, everolimus, fentanyl, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (eg, atorvastatin), hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), lurasidone, macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin), macrolide immunomodulators (eg, tacrolimus), nifedipine, quinidine, ranolazine, theophylline, or vasopressin antagonists (eg, tolvaptan) because the risk of their side effects, some potentially life-threatening, may be increased by Diltiazem


• Moricizine or rifamycins (eg, rifampin) because they may decrease Diltiazem's effectiveness

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Diltiazem may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Diltiazem:
