Tiazac is a prescription medication that contains diltiazem as its active ingredient.
It is an extended-release calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and chronic stable angina (chest pain).
Tiazac releases diltiazem gradually throughout the day, making it suitable for ongoing blood pressure and angina control rather than immediate relief of sudden chest pain.
Tiazac is mainly prescribed to:
Your healthcare provider will determine whether Tiazac is appropriate based on your blood pressure, heart condition, other medications, and overall health.
Tiazac helps lower high blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels.
When blood vessels are more relaxed, blood can flow through them with less resistance. This reduces pressure against the artery walls and decreases the workload on the heart.
Controlling hypertension can help reduce the long-term risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
Chronic stable angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood, often during physical activity or exertion.
Tiazac can help reduce angina by:
These effects may reduce how often angina occurs and improve tolerance for physical activity.
Tiazac belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers.
Diltiazem blocks the movement of calcium into certain muscle cells in the heart and blood vessel walls. Calcium normally helps these muscles contract.
By limiting calcium entry, Tiazac allows blood vessels to relax and can reduce the force and rate of the heartbeat.
These effects help lower blood pressure and reduce the heart’s demand for oxygen.
Tiazac contains diltiazem, but Tiazac is a specific extended-release formulation of the medication.
Different diltiazem products may release the drug at different rates and may have different dosing instructions.
Do not switch between Tiazac and another diltiazem product unless your healthcare provider or pharmacist confirms that the change is appropriate.
No. Tiazac is not intended to provide rapid relief from an angina attack that is already happening.
It is taken regularly to help prevent or reduce chronic stable angina over time.
If you have been prescribed a fast-acting medicine such as nitroglycerin for sudden chest pain, use it according to your healthcare provider’s instructions.
Seek emergency medical attention for new, severe, worsening, or persistent chest pain.
Tiazac begins affecting blood pressure and heart function after treatment starts, but the full benefit may take several days or longer.
For hypertension, your healthcare provider may review several blood pressure readings before deciding whether the dose needs to be adjusted.
For angina, improvement may be measured by fewer chest pain episodes or an increased ability to perform activities without symptoms.
Tiazac can slow the heart rate in some people because diltiazem affects electrical conduction through the heart.
This is one reason your healthcare provider may monitor your pulse and heart rhythm during treatment.
Contact your provider if you develop significant dizziness, fainting, unusual weakness, or a very slow heartbeat.
No. Tiazac helps control hypertension and chronic stable angina but does not permanently cure either condition.
High blood pressure may not cause noticeable symptoms, and angina may improve while treatment is working. This does not necessarily mean the medication is no longer needed.
Continue taking Tiazac as prescribed unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
Your healthcare provider may monitor your:
Regular monitoring helps determine whether Tiazac is controlling your condition without lowering your blood pressure or heart rate too much.
Do not change your dose or stop taking Tiazac without first speaking with your healthcare provider.
Tiazac is taken by mouth, usually once daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.
It may be taken with or without food. Try to take it at about the same time each day to help keep a steady amount of medication in your body and make it easier to remember.
Swallow the Tiazac capsule whole.
Do not crush or chew the capsule, because doing so may interfere with the extended-release design and cause the medication to be released too quickly.
If you have difficulty swallowing the capsule, some Tiazac capsules may be opened and the contents sprinkled onto a spoonful of cool, soft applesauce.
If your healthcare provider or pharmacist confirms that this is appropriate for your product:
Do not chew the capsule contents.
Do not prepare the applesauce mixture ahead of time or save it for later use.
The appropriate dose of Tiazac depends on the condition being treated, your response to the medication, and any other medicines you are taking.
For many adults, treatment may begin with 120 mg to 180 mg once daily.
Your healthcare provider may gradually adjust the dose based on your blood pressure, heart rate, angina symptoms, and how well you tolerate the medication.
Do not change your dose unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.
Tiazac works best when it is taken consistently.
Continue taking it every day even if you feel well. High blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms, so you may still need treatment even when you do not feel sick.
Do not stop taking Tiazac without first speaking with your healthcare provider.
Tiazac begins working after you start taking it, but the full effect on blood pressure may take several weeks.
For high blood pressure, it may take approximately 2 to 4 weeks to see the full benefit of treatment.
Your healthcare provider may monitor your blood pressure and heart rate during this time and adjust your dose if necessary.
If you miss a dose of Tiazac, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
If your next dose is due soon, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for a missed dose.
If you miss several doses or are unsure what to do, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Tiazac (Diltiazem ER) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Tiazac affects both the heart and blood vessels. Because of this, it may not be suitable for everyone and can interact with several medications.
Before taking Tiazac, tell your healthcare provider about your heart, liver, or kidney conditions and provide a complete list of all medications and supplements you use.
Tiazac can rarely cause a serious allergic reaction.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop:
Tiazac can lower blood pressure.
Seek medical attention if you experience severe dizziness, fainting, confusion, or unusual weakness.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart failure, a slow heart rate, heart rhythm problems, or other heart conditions before starting Tiazac.
Because diltiazem can slow the heart rate and affect electrical conduction through the heart, some patients may require closer monitoring.
Do not stop taking Tiazac without first speaking with your healthcare provider.
Suddenly stopping treatment may cause your blood pressure or angina symptoms to worsen.
Your provider can tell you how to safely change or discontinue treatment if necessary.
Tiazac is processed by the liver.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease or a history of abnormal liver tests.
Your provider may monitor your liver function during treatment, especially if you have existing liver problems or use other medications that can affect the liver.
Use Tiazac carefully if you have kidney disease.
Although diltiazem is mainly processed by the liver, kidney problems and other medical conditions may affect how your healthcare provider monitors your treatment.
Diltiazem can lower blood pressure, sometimes more than intended.
Your healthcare provider may recommend regular blood pressure checks while you are taking Tiazac.
Contact your provider if you repeatedly experience unusually low blood pressure readings, dizziness, weakness, or fainting.
Tiazac can cause dizziness or lightheadedness, particularly when you first start treatment or after your dose is increased.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing activities that require full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.
Rise slowly from sitting or lying down to reduce the risk of dizziness or fainting.
Tiazac can interact with several medications.
These may include:
Tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements you take.
Do not start or stop another medication without checking for possible interactions.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may affect how some medications are processed in the body.
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist whether you should limit or avoid grapefruit products while taking Tiazac.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant.
Your provider will determine whether the expected benefits of Tiazac outweigh any potential risks.
Diltiazem can pass into breast milk.
Talk to your healthcare provider before breastfeeding while taking Tiazac so they can help determine the safest treatment and feeding plan.
Constipation can occur while taking diltiazem.
Mild constipation may improve with dietary fibre, regular physical activity, and adequate fluid intake when appropriate for your medical condition.
If you have heart failure, kidney disease, or have been advised to limit fluids, follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations rather than increasing fluid intake on your own.
Contact your healthcare provider if constipation becomes severe or persistent.
Depending on your health and dose, your healthcare provider may monitor your:
Regular monitoring helps make sure Tiazac is working effectively without lowering your blood pressure or heart rate too much.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Tiazac. Your provider will consider whether the expected benefits of treatment outweigh any potential risks to you or your baby. Do not start or stop Tiazac during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical guidance.
If you miss a dose of Tiazac, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take extra medication to make up for the missed dose.
Weight gain is not a common side effect of Tiazac. However, some people may develop fluid retention or swelling, which can lead to an increase in body weight. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice sudden or significant weight gain, swelling in your legs or ankles, or shortness of breath, as these symptoms may require further evaluation.
Tiazac begins working after you start taking it, but you may not notice the full effect right away. For high blood pressure, it may take several days to a few weeks to see the full benefit. If you are taking Tiazac for chronic stable angina, your symptoms may gradually improve as the medication reduces the workload on your heart. Continue taking Tiazac regularly as prescribed, even if you feel well or do not notice an immediate change.
