Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.

What it’s used for

What the FDA label says

CARDIZEM LA is a nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker indicated for:

treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. It can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensives.
improving exercise tolerance in patients with chronic stable angina.

Good to know

It may look different from Cardizem LA (color, shape, or markings). That’s normal for an authorized generic.
If your prescription says “dispense as written,” the pharmacy needs your prescriber’s OK to give you the authorized generic.
Cash prices can differ a lot from one pharmacy to the next, so it can pay to ask two. With insurance, what you pay depends on your plan.
If your pharmacy doesn’t stock it, they can often order it within a day or two.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.

Prices checked November 2, 2026. Prices change: confirm with the pharmacy before you fill. drugalt.com/drug/cardizem-la/
