Dilazep

Dilazep is a vasodilator and antiplatelet drug. It is used in the treatment of angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, and hypertension. Dilazep has a potent effect on increasing coronary circulation and is also known to slow the heart rate.

Pharmacology

Dilazep is a calcium channel blocker, which means it works by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels. It is also an antiplatelet drug, which means it prevents blood clots from forming. This makes it useful in treating conditions like angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, and hypertension.

Medical uses

Dilazep is used to treat a variety of cardiovascular conditions. These include:

• Angina pectoris: Dilazep helps to increase blood flow to the heart, which can relieve the symptoms of angina.
• Cardiac arrhythmia: By slowing the heart rate, Dilazep can help to regulate an irregular heartbeat.
• Hypertension: Dilazep can help to lower high blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels.

Side effects

Like all medications, Dilazep can cause side effects. These may include:

• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Nausea
