What is Cardisec®?

Cardisec ® is a non-DHP member of the group of drugs known as benzothiazepines, which are a class of calcium channel blockers, used in the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, and some types of arrhythmia. It is also an effective preventive medication for migraine. It is a class 3 anti-anginal drug, and a class IV antiarrhythmic. It incites very minimal reflex sympathetic changes.

USES

Cardisec ® is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. When used regularly, Cardisec ® can decrease the number and severity of episodes of chest pain from angina. Cardisec ® is called a calcium channel blocker. It works to control blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily, helping the heart work less hard to pump blood through your body. This effect on the heart, along with the relaxation of its blood vessels, may also relieve the symptoms of angina. Cardisec ® may also decrease heart rate.

DOSAGE

Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually once daily or as directed by your doctor. Swallow the capsules whole. Do not crush or chew the capsules. Doing so can destroy the long action of the drug and may increase side effects.

If you prefer, you may sprinkle the entire contents of a capsule on a small amount of cool, soft applesauce just before taking. Swallow the mixture immediately. Do not chew the mixture, and do not save it for future use.

The dosage is based on your age, medical condition, body size and response to therapy.
If you are older or have severe liver problems, your dosage may need to be adjusted.

Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day. It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. For the treatment of high blood pressure, it may take up to two weeks before the full benefit of this drug takes effect.
