How Long Does Diltiazem Stay In The Body?

how long does it take for the body to eliminate diltiazem 240mg. I m having cardio ablation on the 28th and I was suppose to stop taking the medication on the 26th, 3 days out but I mistakenly took a tablet at 0530 on the 26th. Will this be a problem?

Hello,

I think you should be fine but please do not take other tablets now and on, so you give time for the drug to clear up from your system. You will need to let your doctor know as well that you accidentally got a dose on the 26-th.

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
