Herbesser 30mg Tablet

Herbesser 30mg Tablet contains Diltiazem, a medication classified as a calcium channel blocker. Diltiazem works by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions into cardiac and smooth muscle cells through calcium channels. This action helps to relax the blood vessels, reduce heart rate, and decrease the force of contraction of the heart. Consequently, it helps manage various cardiovascular conditions by improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.

Uses:

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Herbesser is used to treat high blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
• Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain): It helps prevent and manage angina, a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Certain Heart Rhythm Disorders: Herbesser is used to treat specific types of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, by slowing the heart rate and improving rhythm.

Side Effects:

• Common: Headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and swelling of the ankles or legs.
• Less Common: Constipation, rash, and flushing.
• Serious: Severe allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, and difficulty breathing), severe dizziness, fainting, and symptoms of liver problems (such as jaundice or dark urine).

Precautions:

• Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart failure, liver disease, kidney problems, or any heart conditions other than those being treated.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Diltiazem if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. The safety of Diltiazem during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not fully established.
• Drug Interactions: Be cautious of potential interactions with other medications, especially those affecting heart rate or blood pressure, such as beta-blockers or other antihypertensives. Inform your doctor about all other medications and supplements you are taking.

When Not to Use:

• Hypersensitivity: Avoid use if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Diltiazem or any other components of the medication.
• Severe Heart Conditions: It is contraindicated in patients with certain severe heart conditions, such as severe bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, or severe hypotension (low blood pressure).
• Severe Liver Disease: Use with caution or avoid use in patients with severe liver impairment, as Diltiazem is metabolized by the liver.
