Generic Cardizem (Diltiazem 30 mg) guide:

More facts about Generic Cardizem (Diltiazem 30 mg):

When Cardizem or Generic Diltiazem can be used?

When Cardizem (Diltiazem) can be used?

Your doctor can prescribe you or recommend this drug if you have any kind of ischemic heart disease, including angina pectoris, after a myocardial infarction, diabetic nephropathy, fibrillation and flutter of the ventricles, arresting paroxysms of atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and others.

If your doctor says that you can use it for hypertension, you can also buy Cardizem (Diltiazem) and use it either as prescribed by your doctor, or if she or he doesn’t give you strict indications, as said in the instruction.

The medication is also used after a kidney transplant and during immunosuppressive therapy.

What is the mechanism of action of Generic Diltiazem?

What is the mechanism of action of Cardizem (Diltiazem)?

The medication is an antagonist of calcium ions. It blocks calcium channels of type L and inhibits the entering of calcium ions into the phase of depolarization of cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells (reduces intracellular calcium volume). Reduces contractility of the myocardium, the myocardium demand of oxygen through several mechanisms - decrease in energy consumption by myocardial cells, reduction in the activity of the system of formation and conduction of excitation with parallel suppression of tachycardial reactions, reduction in the tone of peripheral arteries and arterioles with a parallel decrease of the systemic vascular resistance, slow down of atrioventricular conduction and the decrease of excitability of the atrioventricular node; tension relief from the blood vessels.

The use of Generic Cardizem causes negative chronotropic action, i.e. slows down the heart rate, slows down atrioventricular conduction and reduces the excitability of the atrioventricular node.

The antianginal effect is related to the diminishing of the end-diastolic pressure by expanding the peripheral veins and reducing the blood inflow to the right atrium and subsequent sparing of the myocardium of preloads, dilation (extension) of the coronary blood vessels and improved oxygen supply to the heart.

The effect of the drug is similar to Verapamil but Cardizem’s effect on the smooth muscles of the vessels is a bit more pronounced. Compared to Nifedipine, the peripheral vasodilator action (dilatation of the lumen of blood vessels) and reflex tachycardia (rapid heart rate) effects are less pronounced.
