Drug Mode of Action ::
Diltiazem relaxes coronary vascular smooth muscles by inhibiting influx of calcium ions during depolarisation of the vascular smooth muscles and myocardium. It increases myocardial O2 delivery in patients with vasospastic angina and inhibits cardiac conduction, particularly at the SA and AV nodes.
Drug Interactions ::
Increased AV blocking effect w/ clonidine. May increase serum levels of statins (e.g. atorvastatin, lovastatin), carbamazepine, phenytoin. May increase bradycardic affect of amiodarone, digoxin, mefloquine. May enhance antihypertensive effect w/ other antihypertensives (e.g. aldesleukin), antipsychotic. Increased serum levels w/ cimetidine. Decreased serum levels w/ rifampicin, phenobarbital. Potentially Fatal: IV: May enhance hypotensive effect of IV ?-blockers.
