Angizem CD 120mg is useful in treating mild to moderate hypertension (high blood pressure). It also helps manage chronic stable angina. Hypertension is high blood pressure that has various causes, including hardening of the arteries, kidney disorders, and certain hormone imbalances. However, most people with hypertension show no identifiable cause for it. If the condition is left untreated, it may contribute to serious health conditions, including a heart attack or stroke. Angina is a severe discomfort and pain in the chest, often spreading to the arms as well as the neck and sometimes to the shoulder and back. This chest pain usually occurs due to a lack of oxygen to the heart.
In Angizem CD, CD stands for controlled delivery, which is designed to release the active component slowly, allowing it to work over 24 hours and be taken once a day. The active ingredient of the medicine is Diltiazem, which is categorised under the class of medications known as calcium antagonists. These medications cause relaxation of the arteries, thereby lowering blood pressure. They enhance the transfer of blood and oxygen to the heart. This medication does not change the levels of calcium in your bloodstream and bones.
The dosage needs to be adjusted as per the individual’s needs. Talk to your doctor about the correct dosage of Angizem CD. The maximum hypertensive effect is usually observed after two weeks of chronic therapy; therefore, dosage adjustment should be scheduled accordingly. Â
Dosages for the treatment of angina should be adjusted to each patient’s needs, starting with 120 mg and gradually increasing once daily. Individuals may respond to a higher dose of up to 360 mg once daily. When necessary, dose adjustments may be carried out over a one-to-two-week period.
A lower dosage may be required in elderly patients.
There are few available dosage requirements for hepatic or renal impairment patients with impaired renal or hepatic function. The medicine should be used with caution in hepatic or renal insufficiency patients. If Angizem CD should be used in these patients, the dosage should be carefully adjusted depending on the patient’s responses and tolerability.
Data to support long term use or with higher doses is limited. A higher dose may offer effectiveness but is associated with a greater risk of side effects. Therefore, treatment with doses exceeding 360 mg a day is not recommended.
Angizem CD 120 is not recommended for use in children. The safety and effectiveness of this antihypertensive agent have not been established in children. Use of Diltiazem is contraindicated in patients with certain types of abnormal heart rhythm, low blood pressure (hypotension, heart attack or other heart-related complications, and pulmonary congestion (fluid in the lungs). Do not take Diltiazem if you are taking dantrolene (a muscle relaxant) or Ivabradine (an antiviral medicine). Also, avoid taking Angizem CD if you are allergic to Diltiazem or any other ingredients of the medicine. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include asthma, wheezing, breathlessness, swelling of the face, tongue, or lips, itching, hives, skin rash, or fainting.
Use of Anzigem CD 120 is prohibited during pregnancy. The medicine may affect the health of the developing baby if taken during pregnancy. Also, Diltiazem may pass into the breast milk and may affect your baby. Hence, it should be avoided during breastfeeding. Tell your healthcare provider if you are taking any other medicines, including those obtained through prescription or over the counter (OTC) means (herbal supplements or vitamins). You should also inform any physician who is prescribing a new medicine for you that you are already taking Angizem CD regularly. Â
Certain medications may affect the way Diltiazem works. These include aspirin, antiplatelet medications (used to prevent blood clots), and Cilostazol (a medication used to treat blood vessel blockage in the legs). Some other medicines for your heart or high blood pressure include cyclosporin, rifampicin, diazepam, phenytoin, lithium, and carbamazepine, among others. Your healthcare specialist has more information on medications to be careful with or avoid while taking Diltiazem.
