What is Diltiazem HCl?
Active Ingredients: Diltiazem HCl
Diltiazem HCl Injection is a drug used for the short-term treatment of some heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. This medication reduces symptoms caused by arrhythmias and may decrease heart rate and restore the normal sinus rhythm.
Diltiazem HCl is classified as a calcium channel blocker and a group IV antiarrhythmic. It works by inhibiting calcium ion influx into the heart, relaxing smooth muscle, and decreasing peripheral vascular resistance.
