Trimetazidine Hydrochloride Modified Release Tablets 35 mg Uses
Trimetazidine is used to treat angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart). It helps improve exercise tolerance and reduce the frequency of angina attacks when used in combination with other anti-anginal medications.
How Trimetazidine works
Trimetazidine is a metabolic agent that shifts cardiac energy metabolism from fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation. This improves cellular efficiency under low-oxygen conditions, protecting heart cells from damage during ischemia. It does not affect heart rate or blood pressure.
Common side effects of Trimetazidine
- Dizziness or headache
- Gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
- Fatigue or weakness
- Rarely, extrapyramidal symptoms (tremor, rigidity) – especially in elderly patients
Expert advice for Trimetazidine
- Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not crush or chew the modified-release tablet; swallow it whole with water.
- Inform your doctor if you have Parkinson's disease, tremors, or kidney problems before starting treatment.
- Trimetazidine is not a cure for angina; it is used alongside other medications and lifestyle changes.
- Avoid sudden discontinuation without consulting your doctor.
