Angizem CD 120 mg Capsule

Angizem CD 120 mg Capsule is a prescription medicine that contains 120 mg of diltiazem in each capsule. It belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and is used to help prevent and control angina pectoris by improving blood flow to the heart and reducing the heart's workload. This extended-release capsule is meant for ongoing symptom control, not for immediate relief of a sudden chest pain episode.

How it works: Diltiazem relaxes and widens the blood vessels, which helps blood move more easily and lowers the heart's work. In this capsule form, the medicine is released over time so its effect lasts through the day.

Angizem CD 120 mg Capsule is a higher-strength extended-release option that may suit patients whose angina control needs a sustained daily dose selected by a doctor. Because it releases diltiazem gradually, it is designed for steady coverage rather than a quick, short-lived effect, and a prescriber may choose this strength when a lower strength is not enough or when a specific maintenance dose is needed.

• Prevention of angina pectoris
• Long-term control of chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart
• Reduction of the heart's workload
• Maintenance therapy as prescribed for chronic angina

• Take Angizem CD 120 mg Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to keep a steady level in your body.
• You may take it with or without food, but take it the same way each time if possible.
• Do not use this capsule to stop a sudden angina attack; use the rescue medicine your doctor prescribed for acute chest pain.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Angizem CD 120 mg Capsule provides 120 mg of diltiazem in an extended-release form. The doctor decides how often it should be taken based on your condition and response; many extended-release diltiazem capsules are taken once daily, but the exact schedule and maximum daily amount must be set by the prescriber for this strength.

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

Common side effects of Diltiazem may include:

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Swelling of the ankles or feet
• Fatigue
• Flushing
• Slow heartbeat
• Nausea

• Angizem CD 120 mg Capsule is a higher-strength maintenance medicine, so it should be used only after a doctor has assessed your blood pressure, pulse, and heart condition.
• It may lower your heart rate and blood pressure; stand up slowly to reduce dizziness or fainting.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart failure, heart block, or a history of slow heartbeat.
• Avoid alcohol or use it cautiously, since it can worsen dizziness or low blood pressure.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the capsule affects you.
• Do not take it together with nitrates, beta blockers, or other heart medicines unless your doctor says it is safe.
• Let your prescriber know about liver disease, since diltiazem is processed by the liver and dose changes may be needed.

• Beta blockers such as metoprolol or propranolol
• Nitrates such as nitroglycerin or isosorbide
• Statins such as simvastatin or lovastatin
• Digoxin
• Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers such as clarithromycin, ketoconazole, rifampin, or certain seizure medicines
