What Causes Severe Stomach Pain After Taking Diltiazem?
My husband just started taking diltiazem last night and right now is experiencing bad stomach ache. Is that normal? I also takes amoxicilliin, 500mg and triamterene/hydrochlorothiazide once a day. He never gets stomach pain and wondering if this new drug is the problem Connie McCoy

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Abdominal pain is a possible side effect of diltiazem along with nausea and indigestion.These symptoms occur in 1 to 10% of persons who use this medication (1 to 10 out of 100 persons )
If the pain is severe however, it would best for him to be seen to rule out other causes such as a surgical cause eg appendicitis, obstruction of the bowel etc
His doctor can assess for one of these conditions.
I hope this helps
