Cardizem SR contains the active ingredient diltiazem. It is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chronic stable angina.

High Blood Pressure

Cardizem SR may be used to treat mild to moderate high blood pressure.

It helps relax and widen blood vessels, which makes it easier for blood to flow and helps lower blood pressure.

Keeping blood pressure under control can reduce the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and damage to the heart and blood vessels.

Chronic Stable Angina

Cardizem SR is also used as maintenance treatment for chronic stable angina, which is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.

It can help reduce how often angina attacks occur and may make physical activity easier.

Cardizem SR is not meant to provide fast relief during a sudden angina attack.

How Cardizem SR Works

Cardizem SR belongs to a group of medications called calcium channel blockers.

It works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart.

Diltiazem can also slow the heart rate and improve blood flow to the heart muscle.

Important Note

Cardizem SR is a sustained-release form of diltiazem designed to release the medication slowly over time.

Take it exactly as prescribed and do not crush or chew the capsules.

Take Cardizem SR exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

It is usually taken twice daily, with or without food.

Try to take each dose at about the same time every day.

Swallow the Tablet Whole

Swallow Cardizem SR whole with water.

Do not crush or chew it, because this can affect how the medication is released into your body.

Your Dose May Change

Your healthcare provider may adjust your dose based on:

  • Your blood pressure
  • Your angina symptoms
  • Your response to treatment
  • Other medications you take

Tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.

Take It Regularly

Take Cardizem SR every day to get the most benefit.

Keep taking it even if you feel well. High blood pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms.

It may take up to about 2 weeks to see the full blood-pressure-lowering effect.

Cardizem SR Does Not Treat Sudden Angina Attacks

Cardizem SR is used regularly to help prevent angina attacks.

It does not work quickly enough to treat chest pain that has already started.

Use your prescribed fast-acting medication, such as nitroglycerin, for sudden angina attacks.

Seek emergency medical attention if your chest pain is severe, lasts longer than expected, or does not improve with your prescribed rescue medication.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider

Contact your healthcare provider if your blood pressure remains high, your angina becomes more frequent, or your symptoms get worse.

Low Blood Pressure

Cardizem SR can lower your blood pressure.

This may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, or fainting.

Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position, and tell your healthcare provider if these symptoms are severe or happen often.

Heart Problems

Cardizem SR can slow the heart rate and affect the electrical signals that control the heartbeat.

It may also worsen heart failure in some people.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have heart failure, a slow heartbeat, heart block, or another heart rhythm problem.

Seek medical attention if you develop fainting, chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or an unusually slow heartbeat.

Liver Problems

Diltiazem is mainly processed by the liver.

If you have liver disease, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely or adjust your dose.

Rarely, diltiazem can cause liver injury. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or persistent abdominal pain.

Kidney Problems

Tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease.

Kidney problems do not usually require a major dose adjustment by themselves, but your overall health and response to treatment may need closer monitoring.

Pregnancy

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Cardizem SR should be used during pregnancy only when the expected benefit is greater than the possible risk.

Breastfeeding

Diltiazem passes into breast milk.

If you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed, talk with your healthcare provider about whether Cardizem SR is appropriate for you.

Allergic Reactions

Do not take Cardizem SR if you are allergic to diltiazem or any ingredient in the medication.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, severe rash, or trouble breathing.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase diltiazem levels in some people.

Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist whether you should avoid grapefruit while taking Cardizem SR.

Drug Interactions

Cardizem SR can interact with many medications.

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you use.

Important interactions may occur with certain:

  • Beta-blockers
  • Digoxin
  • Statins
  • Anti-seizure medications
  • Other blood pressure or heart medications
  • Medicines that affect the CYP3A4 enzyme system

Your doses may need to be adjusted or monitored more closely.

Driving and Operating Machinery

Cardizem SR may cause dizziness, tiredness, or lightheadedness.

Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

Can I stop taking Cardizem SR suddenly?

Do not stop taking Cardizem SR without speaking with your healthcare provider. Stopping treatment may cause your blood pressure or angina symptoms to worsen. Your healthcare provider can tell you the safest way to stop or change your treatment if needed.

Can Cardizem SR cause weight gain?

Weight gain is not a common side effect of Cardizem SR. However, sudden weight gain may be a sign of fluid retention or worsening heart failure. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice rapid or unexplained weight gain, swelling in your legs or ankles, or increasing shortness of breath.

How long does it take for Cardizem SR to start working?

Cardizem SR starts affecting your heart and blood vessels after you take it. However, it may take up to about 2 weeks to see the full effect on your blood pressure. For angina, regular daily treatment can gradually help reduce how often chest pain occurs.

Can I take Cardizem SR with food?

Yes. Cardizem SR can generally be taken with or without food. Try to take it the same way and at the same times each day for consistent results.
