Cartia Xt Coupon & Discounts

Cartia XT comes in tablet form and should be taken by mouth once a day or as prescribed by your doctor. You should take Cartia XT at the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take diltiazem exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

If taken regularly, Cartia XT may control chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts. Your doctor may give you a different medication to take when you have chest pain.

It may take up to 2 weeks before you feel the full benefit of taking Cartia XT. Do not stop taking Cartia XT without talking to your doctor.

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
