I prescribe Cardizem quite often, and yes...sometimes for a fast heart rate.

If you have "low blood pressure," then be sure to monitor it. At lower doses, Cardizem will mostly effect the heart rate, but not impact the blood pressure as much.

I typically use a different medication for this called "Toprol XL." It is referred to as a beta-blocker.

Good luck.

cardizem is given to people with high blood pressure (hypertension) or angina (chest pain) and possibly arrhythmia.
