Diltiazem Cd 240 &180 Mg

We take diltiazem cd in 240mg and 180mg. At this time we are unable to fill our prescriptions. The local pharmacies do not have prescripts in store and say their distributors do not have any stock and have no date when they may have some. Is there some problem with this med or do we need to change to something else?

According to the FDA's webpage there aren't any current drug shortages of Diltiazem. I also don't think your doctor would write you a script for something that he didn't think could be filled. So I would imagine it's probably just those local pharmacies who haven't had a need to keep it in stock for a while.

Have you tried contacting any pharmacies outside of your general area to see if anyone carries it? If it's of any help to your search, listed below is a pharmacy-locator, that uses your zip code to find nearby pharmacies within a given mile range:

I hope this helps!
