INTRODUCTION

CHANNEL 30MG TABLET 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.

During treatment with CHANNEL 30MG TABLET your doctor will constantly monitor your kidney functions, blood pressure and blood sugar levels to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking CHANNEL 30MG TABLET as it may severely decrease your blood pressure.
