Section 4.8 (undesirable effects): Gingival hypertrophy, thrombocytopenia, and gynaecomastia have been added.
Section 4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction, -
CYP3A4 has been identified as the pincipal enzyme involved in the biotransformation of diltiazem. Hence co-administration with other agents that are also substrates for CYP3A4 may result in competitive inhibition of the metabolism of the concomitant agent.
Simultaneous administration with enzyme inducers such as rifampicin and phenobarbital may lead to reduced activity of diltiazem.&
Diltiazem should be used with caution in patients recieving simvastatin and atorvastatin, and patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of rhabdomyolysis. co-administration of amiodarone with diltiazem leads to an increased risk of bradycardia, AV block and myocardial depression.
