Cardizem Tablet 30 mg contains Diltiazem Hydrochloride, a calcium channel blocker used to manage cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, angina pectoris, and certain arrhythmias. Diltiazem works by relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels, reducing the heart's workload, and improving blood and oxygen flow to the heart. It also slows conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node, making it effective in controlling certain types of supraventricular tachycardia and other heart rhythm disorders.

Cardizem Tablet 30 mg is prescribed to adults who require blood pressure control, angina relief, or heart rate management. Its dual action on the vascular system and cardiac conduction makes it an important therapy for patients with coexisting hypertension and angina or arrhythmias.
