Pillround orange pill with 93 over319 on it
i found 2 pills in husbands suitcase need to know?one is orange round with the numbers93 over319 on it.an the other is a round white one ko on it? ## 93 319 contains 60mgs of Diltiazem, a generic for Cardizem. This is used to help lower blood pressure. ## KO is 325mgs of Acetaminophen, a generic or store brand of Tylenol. ## i believe one is definitely an over the counter pain reliever and the other one is definitely for blood pressure. maybe you should stop snooping around on your husband and just ask him if you're really concerned. sounds like you've got some issues. ## I would hate to have a snooping, non-trusting wife like you.

Actavis Diltiazem Cd
I have been told by CVS that Diltiazem CD 120 mg cap is discontinued ## I haven't been able to find anything on this, but you are not the first person who has been told that by their pharmacy, so I can only assume that it's correct. The best suggestion I can make in this case is to contact your doctor and ask about getting an alternative medication prescribed. Running out and missing doses could be very dangerous, so you definitely need to avoid doing that. Does anyone know more about this? ## If Diltiazem 180 was discontinued, it's interesting that I just picked up my prescription today. Was told by CVS several months ago that Warfarin in 3mg pills was not available, but I found out it was. They apparently just switched suppliers.

Diltiazem Inwood 180mg Sa Cap
Is Diltiazem ER from Inwood the same as Diltiazem CD from Teva? ## Yes, Inwood and Teva are just different manufacturers, but the medication is the same, both the ER and the CD just designate it as being a time released formulation. There have actually been several recent articles about this, because there are so many being used now that all mean the same thing, that it's become rather confusing for the average consumer. Learn more Diltiazem details here. I really think there should just be one used universally, so everyone understands it. Are there any other questions or comments I can help with? ## Thank you Verwon, my mother will appreciate the answer since her provider sent this different kind in the mail. She was concerned it might not be the same thing as she has been taking. ...

Diltiazem Cd 240 &180 MG
We take diltiazem cd in 240mg and 180mg. At this time we are unable to fill our prescriptions. The local pharmacies do not have prescripts in store and say their distributors do not have any stock and have no date when they may have some. Is there some problem with this med or do we need to change to something else? ## According to the FDA's webpage there aren't any current drug shortages of Diltiazem. I also don't think your doctor would write you a script for something that he didn't think could be filled. So I would imagine it's probably just those local pharmacies who haven't had a need to keep it in stock for a while. Have you tried contacting any pharmacies outside of your general area to see if anyone carries it? If it's of any help to your search, lis...
