Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:A single case report suggests that diltiazem may decrease the hypoglycemic effect of insulin. The mechanism of interaction is unknown. Diltiazem 180 mg/day reportedly had no effect on glucose levels in normal subjects. In addition, diltiazem 240 to 360 mg/day had no significant effects on glucose control in 23 hypertensive patients with Type II diabetes. While no special precautions appear to be necessary, patients may consider monitoring blood glucose more closely during the first few days or weeks of diltiazem therapy until glucose control is assured.
