Thank you...I am taking Diltiazem Hcl ER (Cartia Xt) Cp 240 mg and I am having an Upper endoscopy. I have been instructed to stop my Med that morning of the procedure, if it is beta blocker. Is this med a beta blocker? I do know it is a channel blocker
Hello, Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic! I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns. Dilitiazem is not abetablocker, it belongs to another broad group called calcium channel blocker. Thanks
