I have Vioxx alerts , any relative story, sent to my email address. This one was 1 of the latest. Google vioxx and you have every bit of info out there relative to vioxx. I get at least 2-3 news items a day concerning this poison. They are still paying large claims due to vioxx.

I came across the story relative to vioxxc causing 500,000 deaths. Go to counterpunch/org.../chinese-melamine-or-vioxx-half-million-dead-and-no-guestions-asked/

I've moved way past your Vioxx discussion

Sometimes the truth hurts. You asked a question and I gave you an answer.Just wanted to show you I didn't dream up the story. Vioxx stories might be over for you but not for the thousands who suffer from it.

Ask your pharmacist or doctor but should not have reaction if not taken within 2-3 hrs - Vitamin C is water soluble and should clear your body.

I have taken the Diltizem 240 ER from CVS. For blood pressure. It seems to lose its strength in 10 hours. It makes me jittery and I can’t sleep if taken before bedtime.
I also have the Diltizem 240 xr from Wal-Mart. It is a bigger pill. Its keeps its strength a lot longer like up to 14 hours and still showing benefits near the end of its cycle. I notice louder ringing noise in ears and an earache from 4hours after I taken the pill to about 11 hours later. I sleep well with it but sometimes I feel drugged through the day.

Check the two prescriptions for different manufacturers - the primary ingredient should be the same but there may be different fillers. You can discuss that with your pharmacist.

You're welcome. I've had problems with TEVA products and that's when I started researching.

Thanks Susan
That is a good idea about researching the medicines. They are each from different pharmacies. I am trying them both and see which one I feel gives me the best results. It is hard to believe that two medicines that are to be the same actually react differently.
I read earlier about not eating before I take the Diltiazem. I will try that and see if that inproves the side effects.

Since taking diltiazem 120/24 about three weeks ago, my stomach has swollen greatly, to where I appear to be 8 months pregnant. Further, the abdomen is drumhead tight. Indeed, it feels and sounds like a drum.
My doctor says it is gas and is not an uncommon side effect to this drug. Is my case unique or common?

wow!!!!! never ever heard this before, I have been on Diltizam 120 for years, before that was Cardizem 120 they are both supposed to be the same, I would get off that real quick and see another doctor or get an X-Ray or something. That is unreal, I wish you the best in getting it solved
