New Release Cardizem Brand Not As Effective
UpdatedBecause of my extreme drug sensitivity I need to take the brand Cardizem for my Afib. Due to production problems it was not available after December 2017 with the availability not returning until April 2018. I feel as though the new release is not the same as the prior capsules...appears to be less drug contained and I am not getting the same benefit from the Cardizem 120mg as before the production problem. The pharmaceutical company is Valaent. Can this be checked out ? Did anyone else have this problem with the new release? Thank you.

Sorry the year dates are incorrect......it was not available as of Dec 2016 and did not return until April 2017.
If it has been manufactured by the same company, there shouldn't be a difference.
How long have you been taking it? There is a chance that your body has just gotten used to your current dosage, which means you might need to try a different dosage, or a different medication.
The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, headache, and hypotension.
