User Reviews for Cartia XT oral

This prescription comes in a carboard package that requires the user to punch out each capsule. I find it very difficult to release each dose from the package. On average 70% of of capsules are smashed on at least one end. I haven,t broken any capsules open but have come very close. Is there any possibility of exploring the possibility of packaging in bottles in lieu of the cardboard punch out method?? They are packaged as Diltiazem CD and are generic for Cartia XT 180/24HR CAP.

STILL HAVE CHEST PAINS.

BEST CAPSAULE I HAVE TAKEN.

I was very short of breath & hospitalized with Atrial fibrillation. the dr. put me on this drug & I have never felt better

improved exercise tolerance. Less effective after 12 hours . cartia xt 180 daily. I could tell at the 12 hour mark that i need another dose. Spoke with my PMD he said switch to a morning dosing. well that didn't work after 12 hours my bp was up, felt gitters and my left arm ache for a few seconds 5 to 10 in a hour then I would feel better again but my bp will still be slightly elevated. Not sure why this drug stop working after 12 hours maybe is the food I am eating.. I am walking lifting weights 2 hours after taking my cartia. I amnot sweating as much though on cartia.

I have been on this medication for over 1 year and have had no side effects. My atrial fibrillation has also been controlled with this med along with flecainide acetate.

Started taking cartia for HBP but my heart seems to race and go faster while on medication

My blood pressure is going UP on this drug and is staying up. Many side effects - sore joints, dry mouth, cough, vision changes. I've only been on this for two weeks and can't wait to get off it.

Ihave gout it seems to have bothered memore since taking this drug, about an hour after taking this drug my feet will tingle is this common?

has lowered my blood pressure, but also has made it harder to maintain erections.

Have taken this medicine for years and it works great.

I would like to know if it's safe to use the dosage: 240mg in morning and 180mg at bedtime.

I take it at night. I can tell when I forget to take it.the next day.

This drug has been easy to use and I have not experienced any adverse side effects.

I was only on Cartia for 1 month.I experienced severe pain in both legs & sometimes my arms.My local pharmacist refused to refill it because it interacted with almost all of my other meds,something my Dr.obviously didn't bother to check before prescribing it.It's been 2 months since my Dr. took me off Cartia,and I still have pain in my upper thighs.The other medicine I take is Ranexa.

Many side effects
