About PRO-DILTIAZEM CD

Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
- Management of angina pectoris (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease.

Active Ingredient & Action
DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the heart's workload, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart's oxygen demand. It achieves this by blocking the entry of calcium ions into cardiac and vascular smooth muscle cells, which leads to vasodilation and decreased cardiac contractility.
