INTRODUCTION

ANGIZEM CD 180MG CAPSULE contains Diltiazem which belongs to the group of medicines called Calcium Channel Blockers. It is used to treat angina and hypertension. It also prevents you from getting chest pain in future.

Hypertension (also known as high blood pressure) is a medical condition in which the force of the blood exerted against the walls of the artery remains very high and as a result it may lead to severe damage to the blood vessels supplying vital organs, such as heart, kidney or brain. If left untreated, it may cause serious complications such as heart attack, heart failure, stroke or even blindness.

Angina pectoris is a type of chest pain caused due to an inadequate supply of oxygen to the heart muscle. Symptoms include severe chest pain, tightness or heaviness with dizziness, fatigue, sweating, shortness of breath and fast heart rate.
