Iski 60 mg Tablet

Iski 60 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 60 mg of diltiazem in each tablet. Diltiazem belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and is used to help prevent and treat angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It may also be used for certain heart rhythm or blood pressure needs when a clinician decides it is appropriate. This product is made by Stadmed Pvt. Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Diltiazem relaxes and widens blood vessels, which lowers the heart’s workload and helps improve blood flow to the heart muscle. As a tablet, Iski 60 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then works systemically to help reduce chest pain from angina.

Iski 60 mg Tablet is a higher-strength diltiazem tablet, so it is usually chosen when a clinician wants a 60 mg dose rather than a lower-strength option. Compared with smaller strengths, this tablet may be used for patients who need a stronger effect for angina control and whose doctor has already assessed that this amount is suitable. It should not be treated as a starting dose unless your prescriber specifically instructs it.

• Prevention and treatment of angina pectoris
• Relief of exertional chest pain
• Heart rate control in selected patients when prescribed
• Blood pressure reduction when directed by a doctor

• Swallow Iski 60 mg Tablet with water exactly as prescribed.
• Take it at the same times each day if your doctor has scheduled regular dosing.
• It may be taken with or without food unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is okay.
• If it is prescribed for angina prevention, take it on a routine schedule rather than only when chest pain starts.

Each Iski 60 mg Tablet provides 60 mg of diltiazem per tablet. The number of doses per day can vary based on your condition, response, and the form your doctor wants you to use, but the total daily amount should not exceed what your prescriber sets. Because this is a 60 mg strength, it is important that the doctor decides how often it should be taken and whether this strength is right for you.

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