Committee Recommendations (1)
02 Sep 15 -
Surrey Medicines Commissioners Group
It is recommended that slow-release and longer-acting diltiazem products are prescribed by brand.
Following consideration of product price and current prescribing levels, the following were agreed as cost-effective preferred diltiazem brands for primary care:
- Twice daily – Angitil SR capsules (available in all three strengths)
- OR Tildiem Retard for patients preferring a tablet (although not available as 180mg strength)
- Once daily – Zemtard XL
