What is diltiazem sa cap?
Diltiazem is the generic name for the drug Cardizem™ and over 20 other brand name drugs, all of which contain diltiazem. Diltiazem causes at least three effects that make it an excellent medication for someone with a weakened heart and/or partially-blocked cardiac arteries who may also experience chest pain (angina); the body's way of telling someone that their heart is not getting enough oxygen. 1) Diltiazem is a powerful anti-hypertensive agent (it lowers blood pressure). It does this because it is a vasodilator, in other words it causes the blood vessels to expand. This increases the blood vessel volume which causes the blood pressure to decrease. 2) The drug decreases the extent to which the heart contracts. This reduces the rate the heart is working which lowers the heart's oxygen demand. 3) The drug slows conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node via its calcium channel blocking activity which slows the heart rate. This also decreases the heart's oxygen demand. The combined effects of 2) and 3) reduce or eliminate angina. Diltiazem is also used to prevent cluster or migraine headaches. It was prescribed to me over 20 years ago because I got a horrible and debilitating migraine about once a month on average, but because I was very physically active and the drug slows down ones heart rate and the amount of blood each heartbeat pumps, I felt terrible whenever I performed any vigorous physical activity. That's why I stopped taking it. Diltiazem should be taken three times per day, however widely available are forms of the drug with the "LA," "CD," "SR," or "SA" suffix which only need to be taken once a day. These suffixes all mean once a day dosing and they stand for long acting, continuous dosing, slow release, and probably slow action or slow activity. "Cap" just stands for capsule similar to the way "tab" stands for tablet.
