Drug & Food Interactions

Diltiazem should be used with caution in animals that have: severe liver or kidney problems, as the drug is metabolized by the liver and eliminated from the body by the kidneys; severe heart failure. If your animal has any of these conditions, talk to your veterinarian about the potential risks versus benefits.

How is Diltiazem useful?
Diltiazem works on the heart by changing how calcium is used to treat heart rhythm problems in dogs and cats and some forms of feline heart disease. The FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) has approved this drug for use in humans, but it is not officially approved for use in animals. The FDA allows veterinarians to prescribe products containing this drug in different species or for other conditions in certain situations. You and your veterinarian can discuss why this drug is the most appropriate choice.
How long until I will know if Diltiazem is working, and how long will the effects of this medication last?
This medication should start having effects within 1 to 2 hours; however, you will not see the effects of this medication outwardly. Your veterinarian will need to run further tests to determine if the medication is working appropriately. The effects of this medication are short-lived, meaning they will stop working within 24 hours, although the benefits may be prolonged if your animal has decreased kidney and/or liver function.
Can handling Diltiazem be hazardous to me, my family, or other animals?
There are no specific precautions required when handling this medication unless you are allergic to it. Wash your hands after handling any medication.

Very essential!
These pills save my dogs life and fix his heart condition! I'm so grateful that chewy carries these - it's pretty unaffordable to buy these at human pharmacies. The convenience of being able to auto ship is huge, and chewys customer support is stellar! These are the version of the pills that have 4 capsules inside them to properly dose for the small bois.
Literally lifesaving medicine for our Newfy babygirl
Our 9 year old Newfoundland girl was feeling poorly, very sluggish and low energy. We took her to the cardiologist at the referral of her regular vet. She was diagnosed with heart disease Afib. This medicine has saved her life. (This also happens to be the same exact medicine and same dosage my mom-inlaw takes for her afib heart issue.) It is much more cost effective to buy prescription meds from Chewy that our vet hospital.
4 tabs in 1 cap!
Great med, controls my pet's blood pressure as prescribed. easy to adjust the dose with the tablets inside the capsule.
