Class and Mechanism:
Generic Tiazac (Diltiazem) belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers (CCBs). Generic Tiazac produces its antihypertensive effect primarily by relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and the resultant decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. The magnitude of blood pressure reduction is related to the degree of hypertension: thus hypertensive individuals experience an antihypertensive effect, whereas there is only a modest fall in blood pressure in normotensives.
