Angizem DP 90 mg Capsule MR

Angizem DP 90 mg Capsule MR is a prescription medicine that contains 90 mg of diltiazem in each modified-release capsule. Diltiazem belongs to the calcium channel blocker class, which helps relax blood vessels and slow the heart rate. It is used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain fast or irregular heart rhythms when a doctor decides this strength is appropriate. Because it is a modified-release capsule, Angizem DP 90 mg Capsule MR is designed to release medicine gradually over time.

How it works: Diltiazem in Angizem DP 90 mg Capsule MR blocks calcium from entering the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. That helps blood vessels relax, lowers the heart’s workload, and can reduce chest pain and control certain abnormal heart rhythms.

Angizem DP 90 mg Capsule MR is a moderate-to-higher capsule strength, so it is typically chosen for people whose doctor needs more than a low starting dose or a steadier day-long effect. Compared with lower strengths, this 90 mg modified-release capsule may produce a stronger and longer-lasting blood pressure or heart-rate effect, so it is not meant for self-adjusting. Your prescriber selects this strength based on your condition, response, and tolerance.

• High blood pressure
• Angina (chest pain)
• Certain fast or irregular heart rhythms
• Longer-acting heart-rate control as prescribed

• Swallow the Angizem DP 90 mg Capsule MR whole with water; do not crush, chew, open, or split it.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes, usually at the same time each day.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it the same way each day can help consistency.
• Do not use this modified-release capsule for sudden chest pain unless your doctor has specifically told you to.
• If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Avoid changing brands or dosage forms without asking your prescriber, because modified-release products can behave differently.

Each Angizem DP 90 mg Capsule MR provides 90 mg of diltiazem in a modified-release form. The number of capsules per day depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s plan; it may be taken once daily or in divided doses in some patients, but the exact schedule is individualized. Do not take more than your prescribed daily amount, because the safe maximum depends on your response, other medicines, and heart status.

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