DILCONTIN XL 120MG 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).
DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET contains 'Diltiazem' which works by relaxing the blood vessels in the heart, thereby reducing the raised blood pressure. DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET eases anginal chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries. As a result, DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET helps treat/prevent high blood pressure and angina.

DILCONTIN XL 120MG 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. DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET works by inhibiting the movement of calcium ions across the heart muscle and smooth muscle linings of the blood vessels, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels making it easier for the blood and oxygen to reach the heart. This, in turn, helps in lowering the blood pressure and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET eases anginal chest pain by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels and dilating the coronary arteries.
Do not take DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET if you are allergic to any of its contents, if you have/had low blood pressure, heart failure, low pulse rate, or if you are taking dantrolene (muscle relaxant), ivabradine (used to treat heart failure), or if you are currently in shock (reduced blood flow to organs). Inform your doctor if you have/had diabetes, liver or kidney problems, porphyria (a rare disease of the blood pigment), myasthenia gravis (muscle problems), heart problems, or constipation. DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET may cause mood changes and depression in some people. Consult your doctor immediately if you think you are affected. DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET is not recommended for use in pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and children.
Drug-Drug Interactions: DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET may have interaction with muscle relaxant (dantrolene), a drug used to treat heart failure (ivabradine), cholesterol-lowering agents (simvastatin, atorvastatin), antimanic drugs (lithium), blood thinner (warfarin, aspirin, apixaban, rivaroxaban), drugs used to treat asthma (theophylline, salmeterol+fluticasone, formoterol+budesonide), beta-blocker (metoprolol).
Drug-Food Interactions: Avoid consuming grapefruit/grapefruit juice as it may affect the amount of DILCONTIN XL 120MG TABLET in blood.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney dysfunction, or heart-related problems such as aortic stenosis, congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmia, low blood pressure, or coronary artery disease.
High blood pressure (hypertension): It is a condition in which the blood exerts increased pressure on the walls of blood vessels leading to hypertension. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Symptoms of high blood pressure include headache, dizziness, nose bleed, changes in vision, chest pain, weakness and dyspnoea (shortness of breath). However, most of the time, the signs and symptoms of hypertension are none.
Angina (chest pain): It occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart, which is caused by narrowing or blockage of the heart's arteries (coronary artery). The blockade usually occurs due to the build-up of fat/cholesterol in the coronary artery. Symptoms include pain or tightness in the chest, neck, arms or back, weakness, lightheadedness, anxiety and abnormal heartbeat.
