How To Discontinue Diltiazem While On Vytorin?
Experiencing severe leg muscle weakness when simply walking. Have been on steroids for years and discontinued them about two weeks ago. Still taking other prescriptions including Diltiazem. Don t honestly know why I need diltiazem and had been warned by Pharmacist about interaction with Vytorin. Intend to stop taking Diltiazem, too. Any comments?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Diltiazem is for cardiac disease and if this is so then it has to be taken and it can not be changed unless it is being advised by cardiologist instead you can stop the other drug if not important, hope this information helps.
