Angizem™ 30 mg (Diltiazem) — 2025 Complete Cardio‑Metabolic Guide

Introduction
Flexible haemodynamics in one classic molecule.
Among non‑DHP CCBs, diltiazem sits midway between verapamil’s negative inotropy and amlodipine’s pure vasodilation, making it a favourite for patients who need AV‑node slowing and blood‑pressure relief without excessive bradycardia. Sun Pharma’s Angizem™ 30 mg provides the low‑dose entry, allowing titration to 60 mg QID for angina, or step‑up to SR 90–120 mg BID once tolerability is proven. India’s hypertensive guidelines endorse non‑DHPs when metabolic syndrome and tachycardic tendencies coexist. (Full 3 000‑word intro inside canvas explores epidemiology, cost‑effectiveness, and adherence metrics.)
Mechanism Snapshot
| Site | Action | Clinical Result |
|---|---|---|
| AV node L‑type Ca²⁺ | ↓ conduction, ↑ ERP | HR control in AF/SVT |
| Coronary arteries | Vasodilation | Angina threshold ↑ |
| Peripheral arterioles | ↓ Afterload | BP fall ~12/7 mmHg |
Half‑life 3–4 h (IR); hepatic CYP3A4 metabolism & P‑gp inhibition.
