Hi, consultant has changed my meds. Told me to come off the beta blockers and go into Diltiazem. I know these tablets have to be taken twice a day, 12 hours apart. I always take my Ranexa and levothyroxine first thing in the morning. I then take aspirin about 1.5 hours later. I have ferrous gluconate at 11am and then my other Ranexa at lunchtime. Atorvastatin at bedtime. If I take Diltiazem at 8am and 8pm will this affect any other meds? No guidance from consultant and nothing on package / paperwork in box to help!

Diltiazem and other meds
Hi, I've had similar thoughts on my medications, and even after searching, found no advice. The only way I can gauge the timings of when to take my various meds, similar to yours, is that when I was recently an in patient on a cardiac HDU, following stent insertion, is that they gave me all my meds to take in one go, at around 8.00 am. I hope this helps?
Thank you. I find it really strange that we are given these crazy meds but no advice as to when to take them!
I’m on Diltiazem after splitting I now take the 2 tablets together at 8 am . All has been well as a result . My gp told me once a day is what is should be . As yourself it suits me fine because of fitting in other meds .
Thanks for this. So you take the ranazoline 12 hours apart too as this isn't explained in instructions 🤔
