Can somebody verify that Diltiazem "...is a class 3 anti anginal drug"? In my book it is a class IV antiarrhytmica - and I'm not sure what a class 3 anti anginal drug is. Is this an error? --LasseFolkersen 18:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] other uses

some drug smuggler cut cocaine with Diltiazem. http://www.dea.gov/programs/forensicsci/microgram/mg0706/mg0706.html
