New prescription...safe to dive?

[luvbubbles]

I just got put on Cardizem (hopefully just temporarily) and neither of my doctors was sure about the safety of diving with this particular drug. Can anyone point me in the direction of some better info?

I don't know of any issues with diving while on cardizem other than the condition you're taking it for - Afib. Depending on the history and current status of the condition, that may prevent you from diving safely right now.
