Mechanism of Action

Diltiazem is a peripheral and coronary vasodilator. It also inhibits cardiac conduction, particularly at the sino-atrial and atrioventricular nodes. Diltiazem works by lowering your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body.

In angina, diltiazem works by improving the blood and oxygen supply to your heart. Angina is chest pain that comes on when not enough blood gets to the muscles of the heart. This usually happens because the arteries going to the heart become hardened and narrowed.

Route of Administration

Diltiazem is given orally in a sustained-release formulation.
