Tiazac XC (active ingredient: diltiazem) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Tiazac XC is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications associated with chronic hypertension.
  2. Angina Pectoris: It is indicated for the treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease, helping to reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
  3. Supraventricular Tachycardia: Tiazac XC is also used to manage certain types of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a condition characterized by an abnormally fast heart rate originating above the ventricles.

Tiazac XC belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart, thereby helping to control blood pressure and heart rate.

Tiazac XC comes in the form of a tablet, and it should be taken once a day as directed by a doctor. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water and should not be crushed or chewed. Tiazac XC should be taken consistently, at the same time each day, and should not be abruptly discontinued without consulting a doctor. Patients should follow all instructions and dosage recommendations provided by their doctor or pharmacist.

The recommended dosage of Tiazac XC may vary depending on the medical condition being treated and the patient’s individual needs. According to the search results, the usual recommended starting dose of diltiazem extended-release tablets such as Tiazac XC ranges from 180 mg daily to 240 mg daily for the treatment of high blood pressure. For the treatment of angina, the recommended dosage range is 120 mg to 180 mg once daily. The maximum antihypertensive effect is typically observed within 14 days of treatment. The maximum daily dose of Tiazac XC is 360 mg. Note that the dosage may be adjusted by a doctor based on individual patient needs. Patients should always follow the dosage instructions provided by their doctor or pharmacist.

Take Tiazac XC exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
