I noticed that some are posting a Cardizem LA, and am wondering what it is as a google seach noes not turn up such a drug. I also noticed a large umber of people find Sotalol ineffective. In my case the drug gave me fits with breathing, really knocked me for a loop. Thanks for any thoughts on the Cardizem LA mystery. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cardizem CD and Cardizem LA are both slow release brand name drugs using Diltiazem. WebMD does not indicate any difference between LA and CD. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hey 63-year-old (please give us a name) I've tried both versions of cardizem. The pharmacy was out of CD (the capsule form) when my perscription needed refilling and, with my doc's approval, they gave me Cardizem LA (for long acting) instead. The LA form is a tablet -- about the size of a centrum multi vitamin, as I recall. Stayed with the LA form for a couple months, but finally decided it wasn't working as well as cardizem CD in controlling my heart rate. So, with doc's approval, I went back to the capsule form. Hope that helps. Ed who will be 65 on Feb. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
