Diltiazem for hypertension

Ciclosporin-induced encephalopathy was precipitated by diltiazem in a 76-year-old white woman with corticosteroid-resistant aplastic anemia and thrombocjdope-nia, type 2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease, who was taking diltiazem for hypertension (28). She became comatose after 13 days of therapy with ciclosporin, and clinical examination and electroencephalography showed diffuse encephalopathy of moderate severity. Ciclosporin was withdrawn and she regained consciousness after 36 hours.
