Angizem 60 mg Tablet

Angizem 60 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 60 mg of diltiazem in each tablet. It belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and is used to help treat angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angizem 60 mg Tablet may also be used for other heart-related conditions when your doctor decides diltiazem is appropriate. This pack contains tablets made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

How it works: Diltiazem in Angizem 60 mg Tablet relaxes and widens blood vessels, which helps blood flow more easily and reduces the heart’s workload. In tablet form, it is taken by mouth and begins working after it is absorbed into the body.

Angizem 60 mg Tablet is a mid-strength tablet option, higher than Angizem 30 mg Tablet but lower than Angizem 180 mg Tablet. A doctor may choose this strength when a lower dose is not enough or when a more gradual, adjustable dose is preferred before moving to a higher strength.

• Treatment of angina pectoris
• Reduction of chest pain episodes
• Heart-rate control in certain patients when prescribed

Each Angizem 60 mg Tablet provides 60 mg of diltiazem per tablet. The number of tablets per dose and how often you take them can vary based on your condition, response, and other medicines; the doctor decides the exact schedule. Because this is a 60 mg strength, it may be taken multiple times a day in some treatment plans, but the maximum daily dose must be set by your prescriber and should not be exceeded.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
