Question: I am 70.... i gave been taking allergy injections fir 40 years! Once a month now. I was just prescribed 120 mg of Dilizem for irregular tachycardia. (SVT). Will taking this med prevent me from getting my allergy shots? I heard that taking some type of heart med prevents one from taking allergy shots

Doctor I am not sure what I take. It's shots for mold, cat hair, dusts, grasses. I take one in each arm once a month. It controls my allergies. I've been taking them since I was 11 yrs old.

Well, diltiazem is not having major drug interactions with allergy shots.
So you can take both of them together, no need to worry for this.
