About Axzem 30mg Tablet

Axzem 30mg Tablet belongs to the group of anti-hypertensive medicines called 'calcium channel blockers' used to treat mild to moderate hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also indicated in the management of chronic stable angina and angina due to coronary artery spasms. High blood pressure is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. Angina or chest pain occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart, which is caused by narrowing or blockage of the heart's arteries (coronary artery).

Axzem 30mg Tablet contains 'Diltiazem' which works by relaxing the blood vessels in the heart, thereby reducing the raised blood pressure. Axzem 30mg Tablet eases anginal chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries. As a result, Axzem 30mg Tablet helps treat/prevent high blood pressure and angina.
