What is Angizem 60mg?

High blood pressure is a condition in which your blood exerts added pressure on the walls of your blood vessels causing hypertension.

How does it work?
Diltiazem is a slow calcium channel blocker that connects to the extracellular site of your alpha-1C subunit of the channel.It also hinders the entrance of extracellular calcium across your myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes.
The decreased intracellular calcium concentrations further promote smooth muscle relaxation, leading to arterial vasodilation and decreased blood pressure. It also helps in increasing the supply of blood as well as oxygen to your heart.
