Dilti 60 mg Tablet

Dilti 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 prevent and relieve angina, or chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. By easing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow, Dilti 60 mg Tablet can help reduce angina episodes when taken as directed. This product is supplied as a tablet from Alembic Pharmaceuticals, India, in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Diltiazem works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which helps blood flow more easily and lowers the heart’s oxygen demand. In tablet form, Dilti 60 mg Tablet provides a measured oral dose that helps reduce chest pain episodes and ease the heart’s workload.

Dilti 60 mg Tablet is a medium-strength tablet that may be chosen when a doctor wants a specific oral dose of diltiazem rather than a lower starting strength. Because each tablet contains 60 mg, it can be useful for people whose symptoms or treatment plan call for this amount, but it is not a self-start medicine. Your doctor may select Dilti 60 mg Tablet when they want to balance symptom control with the risk of dizziness, slow heartbeat, or low blood pressure.

• Prevention of angina pectoris
• Relief of chest pain related to reduced heart blood flow
• Improving exercise tolerance in some people with angina
• Blood pressure control when prescribed for that purpose

• Swallow Dilti 60 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it at the same time each day to help keep a steady effect.
• You can usually take it with or without food, but taking it the same way each day may help consistency.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your prescriber or pharmacist says it is appropriate.
• If you are taking it to help prevent angina, use it regularly as prescribed rather than only when pain starts.
• If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Dilti 60 mg Tablet provides 60 mg of diltiazem per tablet. The dose and how often it is taken depend on your condition and your doctor’s plan; it may be taken multiple times a day, and the total daily dose should not exceed the amount your prescriber has set for you. This strength is meant to be used under medical supervision, especially because diltiazem can lower heart rate and blood pressure.

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