Editing Diltiazem Hydrochloride (section)

== FAQ ==
==== How should I take the tablet? ====
Swallow the tablet whole with a drink of water. Do not crush the tablet.
 
==== What should I avoid while taking? ====
Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking diltiazem.
Grapefruit juice can increase diltiazem in your body and make side effects worse, such as flushing or getting headaches. 

====What happen if I miss a dose?====
If you forget to take a dose and you usually take diltiazem:
*'''Once a day''' – take it as soon as you remember, unless it is less than 12 hours until your next dose. In this case, leave out the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time.
*'''Twice a day''' – take it as soon as you remember, unless it is less than 4 hours until your next dose. In this case, leave out the missed dose and take you next dose at the usual time.
*'''Three times a day''' – leave out that dose and take your next dose at the usual time.

Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one.
