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

The FDA doesn’t rate Hospira’s version of diltiazem a substitute for Cardizem, so a pharmacy can’t swap it in without your prescriber’s OK.

Who sells it: FDA and Medicaid records, updated weekly. Each maker’s page, card and program is from its own site.

What it’s used for

Chest pain from heart disease (angina)

What the FDA label says

CARDIZEM is indicated for the management of chronic stable angina and angina due to coronary artery spasm.

Source: the FDA label for Cardizem (Bausch Health US LLC), April 30, 2025. Full label on DailyMed

Good to know

It may look different from Cardizem (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/
