Diltiazem Hcl Cd And Cardizem Cd

My medication bottle says Diltiazem Hcl CD 360 mg. Inside are Cardizem capsules 360 mg. Are they exactly the same?

Hello, Jean! How are you?

Yes, they are the same, Cardizem is just the name brand for Diltiazem.

The FDA classifies this medication as a calcium channel blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, increased urination, dry cough and hypotension.

Is there anything else I can help with?
