High blood pressure is a long-term (chronic) condition that can harm your organs. Medications for blood pressure are not a one-time cure. This medicine doesn't provide a complete cure for high blood pressure, so it's important to continue taking it, even if you start feeling better. If you stop taking it suddenly, this could cause dangerous problems, like heart attack or stroke. Follow your medical provider's instructions carefully.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of your blood pressure medicine, take it as soon as you remember. But skip the missed dose if it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
What happens if I take too much?
Taking too much of your blood pressure medicine can lead to symptoms like low blood pressure, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), slow heart rate, dizziness and fainting.
If you’ve taken too much Diltiazem ER, call your licensed medical provider or local poison control center (800-222-1222) immediately.
