Diltiazem 30 mg (generic)
A calcium‑channel blocker commonly used for hypertension, angina, and certain arrhythmias.

What you’ll see in local drugstores (e.g., Mercury Drug, Watsons, local independent pharmacies):

• Local generic brands (e.g., Diltiazem, Diazepam etc.) are usually on the lower end of the range.
• Imported or branded preparations (e.g., Cardizem or Valdecem) tend to be 1.5‑2× higher.
• Online pharmacies (e.g., Lazada, Shopee, or pharmacy‑specific sites) may offer competitive pricing or bundle deals.

How to get the best price

1. Compare at three different retailers (a large chain, a local independent pharmacy, and an online marketplace).
2. Ask about “no‑prescription” or “over‑the‑counter” bulk discounts; many pharmacies offer a 10–15 % discount on a 30‑tablet or 90‑tablet pack if you pay cash.
3. Check for promotions: some chains run monthly “generic drug” discounts (often 20–30 % off).
4. Use pharmacy loyalty programs or credit‑card rewards to shave a few pesos off each purchase.

Quick dosing reminder
