Dilcontin XL 90 Tablet contains Diltiazem (90 mg). Here's how it works:

• Vascular Relaxation: Diltiazem helps in relaxing and widening your blood vessels. This action makes it easier for your heart to pump blood, effectively reducing your blood pressure.

• Improved Blood Flow: Diltiazem enhances the supply of blood and oxygen to your heart. It achieves this by dilating (widening) the coronary arteries and arterioles, small branches of arteries that lead into capillaries.

• Heart Rate Regulation: Diltiazem has an effect on the electrical impulses in your heart, which control your heart rate. It slows down these impulses, helping to control certain types of irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

This helps improve blood flow, oxygen supply to your heart and overall cardiovascular health. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise regime.
