Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet

Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 90 mg of diltiazem in each tablet. It belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and is used to help manage angina pectoris by improving blood flow to the heart and lowering the heart’s workload. In some patients, diltiazem is also used to treat certain heart rhythm problems or high blood pressure when a doctor decides it is appropriate. Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet is a higher-strength diltiazem product, so it is usually chosen only after a clinician has assessed the patient’s needs and response to lower doses.

How it works: Diltiazem relaxes and widens blood vessels, which helps blood flow more easily and reduces the heart’s oxygen demand. In tablet form, Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet is designed to provide sustained diltiazem delivery so the medicine can work over time rather than all at once.

Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet provides 90 mg in each tablet, which is a stronger strength than lower-dose diltiazem tablets and may be selected when a doctor needs a more substantial effect. Because it is a higher strength, it is not the kind of dose most people start with on their own; the exact schedule depends on your condition, age, and how you respond to treatment. A prescriber may choose Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet when a patient has already used lower strengths or needs a dose that better matches their treatment plan.

• Angina pectoris prevention
• Chest pain related to reduced blood flow to the heart

• Take Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your pharmacist or prescriber specifically says it is safe to do so.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep a steady level in your body.

• If you take it for angina, do not stop it suddenly without medical advice, because chest pain can worsen.
• If your prescription label gives specific directions about timing or missed doses, follow those directions first.

This product supplies 90 mg of diltiazem per tablet, so each dose delivers a moderate-to-higher amount compared with lower-strength tablets. How often you take Angizem CD 90 mg Tablet depends on the condition being treated and the formulation your doctor selects; some patients take it once daily, while others may need a different schedule. Do not take more than your prescribed maximum per day, and your doctor is the only one who should decide the right dose for you.
