Product Description

Trimetazidine 80 mg Extended-Release Tablets are an anti-anginal medicine used as an add-on treatment for stable angina (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart). It helps the heart cells use energy more efficiently during periods of reduced oxygen supply.

Uses

• Used as add-on therapy for stable angina

• Helps reduce the frequency of angina symptoms

• Supports heart muscle energy metabolism

How It Works

Trimetazidine helps improve the efficiency of energy production in heart cells, particularly when oxygen supply is limited. This may help the heart function with less energy stress during episodes of reduced blood flow.

Benefits

• Helps manage symptoms of stable angina

• Supports efficient energy use by heart cells

• May improve exercise tolerance in some patients

• Extended-release formulation provides prolonged drug release

How to Use

Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water and do not crush or chew the extended-release tablet. Take it regularly and do not stop treatment without medical advice.

Side Effects

Possible side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, stomach discomfort, weakness, or sleep disturbances. Contact your doctor if symptoms are persistent or troublesome.

Safety Advice

• Trimetazidine is an add-on treatment for stable angina and is not intended to relieve sudden chest pain or an acute angina attack.

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, particularly severe kidney impairment. Tell your doctor if you have or have had Parkinson's disease, tremors, restless legs, or other movement disorders.

• Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience dizziness or drowsiness.
