Dilzem Retard 90Mg 30Tab

Dilzem Retard is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart diseases. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart.

Dilzem Retard works by inhibiting the entry of calcium into the heart and blood vessel cells, leading to the relaxation of smooth muscles. This effect helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow, contributing to the relief of symptoms associated with heart diseases such as angina. It is also used in some cases to treat arrhythmias. This medication is effective in improving the quality of life for patients suffering from these conditions.
