Experiences with

Slozem

“Slozem does lower the bp”! Why wasnt this spotted before??? A quick call to the GP and he has lowered the dose, hopefully this will help.

My BP is still moderately high at an average of 150/90 so he has prescribed Slozem. Does anyone have experience of Slozem I am naturally wary. I am four days off Felodipine as I write.

At the moment I’m taking Slozem and ramipril and there is some improvement. Bp not so high as it was, however, just as before, the first week to 10 days after starting the new meds sees the bp drop to normal and then it’s now back to being high again.

Hi there, I’m wondering if anyone can tell me how long it takes for Slozem (diltiazem) to work for high blood pressure? Been taking 120mg daily for a week now and told to monitor my blood pressure throughout the day. Nothing happening yet.

Started on 240mg Slozem 4 weeks ago. Symptoms of shortness of breath, but 02 sat levels 94- 97, really hard to breathe at time times with internal tremor. Checked out by A&E twice, normal bloods, heart and lungs. Anybody suffer this side effect?

Made no difference and after a couple of weeks i was put on slozem (Diltiazem) 180mg. Palpitations and ectopics continued, GP didn't seem too bothered, eventually got a 24 hour ecg which showed some bigeminy, trigeminy, single VEs and SVEs.

Hi all I'm Mike I live in Southampton, my local Pharmacy say they can't get Viazem 180mg any more, they have suggest Slozem as an alternative, has anyone else had this problem? A few months ago I couldn't get Metoprolol, but now that's not a problem. Thanks Mike

Apixaban, slozem and candersartin. I have plenty of clothes on, but still feel cold. How do others feel?

Just started following 69 year old male Asthma Bronchiectasis Atrial Fibrillation and high BP On Slozem 300mg and losartan 200mg the BP but just had doxaxosin 2mg added to the list Cheers

Anybody on slozem 180?

Since diagnosis I have been tried on various meds for high BP, including beta blockers, I'm now taking Slozem, all causing me to feel unwell in various degrees. Does anyone have any idea Why indapimide is no longer suitable for me to take when I previously was OK on it.

I had been taking Slozem 240mg for quite a while, and when on holiday was taken into hospital and was give Amiodarone 200mg tablets. When i saw my GP on return to UK, they do not like to use this medication, but will still prescribe it till i see Cardiologist.

At the moment I am persevering with Slozem which is really doing it's job, but have very achey joints, particulalrly my ankles and wrists and feel pretty exhausted all the time. Can't work out if I have a virus or if it really the drugs.

My AF which has refused to cooperate with medication over the years is now permenant and never stops i.e.beteblockers, digoxin, calcium cb (slozem and verapamil) and Amioderone which i was on for only 3 weeks as my fear factor was making me a nervous wreck.

I have taken apixaban for 4 years and slozem for my blood pessure. Is this usual after so long or is it something to do with my atrial fiberation.?

Adizem XL and Slozem...just wondering if anyone has these and why I should get two drugs to replace the one before.....no explanation given. Just take one of each daily... Any ideas anyone please.....Thanks

Was oj betablockers then slozem then those awaful amiodorone briefly but nothing helped so my ca4diologist said stop them all bar the apixiban and atorvastatin. Now three months and feel worse and fed up. Any suggestions or magic wandscplease?

I have just been prescribed slozem 120mg. I have af and the betablocker i was on making very tired. Any comments please. I do so hate taing tablets. Many thanks.

I take 180mg Slozem; 125 mg Digoxin; and at the moment regular 2mg Warfarin daily. I guess I will have to make an appointment to see the Doc. I would love to hear your comments please? Thank you

After 3 cardio versions which didn't work I am on digoxin, warfarin and Slozem ( diltiazem) I get very hot, similar to hot flushes mainly in the evening and when I lie down. Do others have this too?
