Answer 1

You should have gone to a shop selling homoeopathy medicines. I referred the materia medica book. I could not find any remedy by name dilzem. what for you want gelsemium? Is it for stammering? Dilzem falls under the group of calcium channel blocker. Did the physician ask you questions and then gave this remedy? Please recheck for what he has given this to you. According to me, it is not equivalent to gelsemium. Re-check.
