Recall of blood pressure drug after dosage error on label
Dilzem XL, marketed by the Elan Corporation, was yesterday the subject of a warning issued by the Irish Medicines Board, which said some patients may have received higher-than-prescribed doses due to the error.
The drug, which contains an ingredient called diltiazem hydrochloride, is a prescription-only medication used to treat most blood pressure conditions, such as angina or hypertension.
