Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Diltiazem hydrochloride is commonly prescribed for the treatment of hypertension. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure. By reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow, diltiazem hydrochloride helps to decrease blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of complications associated with hypertension, such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
Angina Pectoris: Diltiazem hydrochloride is also used in the management of angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. By dilating the coronary arteries and improving blood flow to the heart, diltiazem hydrochloride helps to relieve angina symptoms, such as chest pain, pressure, or tightness.
Cardiac Arrhythmias: Diltiazem hydrochloride may be prescribed to manage certain types of cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or supraventricular tachycardia. It works by slowing the electrical conduction in the heart, which helps to restore normal heart rhythm and prevent rapid or irregular heartbeats.
Coronary Artery Disease: Diltiazem hydrochloride may be used as part of the treatment regimen for individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD), a condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. By dilating the coronary arteries and improving blood flow to the heart muscle, diltiazem hydrochloride helps to relieve symptoms and reduce the risk of complications associated with CAD, such as heart attack or unstable angina.
Raynaud's Phenomenon: In some cases, diltiazem hydrochloride may be used off-label to manage Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition characterized by episodes of vasospasm in the fingers and toes, leading to color changes and pain or numbness. By dilating the blood vessels, diltiazem hydrochloride may help improve blood flow and reduce the frequency and severity of Raynaud's attacks.
Side Effects: Common side effects of diltiazem hydrochloride may include dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, flushing, nausea, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild and may improve with continued use or dosage adjustments. However, more serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, bradycardia (slow heart rate), or heart block, may occur rarely and require medical attention.
Bacteria Impacted by diltiazem hydrochloride,(prescription)
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
Impact of diltiazem hydrochloride,(prescription) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups.
We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio: Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
