Product Introduction
Trimetazidine 35mg is a modified-release antianginal medicine used alongside other treatment for stable angina when symptoms remain inadequately controlled or other antianginal medicines are not tolerated.
How to use
Take the modified-release tablet with food and swallow it whole. Do not crush or chew it. Keep the timing consistent; modified-release strengths cannot be exchanged with conventional tablets solely by matching a daily milligram total.
How it works
Trimetazidine shifts cardiac energy metabolism towards glucose oxidation, which uses oxygen more efficiently than fatty-acid oxidation. This helps preserve cellular energy during myocardial ischaemia without a primary blood-pressure- or heart-rate-lowering action.
Side effects
Nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, headache or dizziness can occur. New tremor, stiffness, slowed movement, restless legs or unsteady walking needs prompt assessment because a medicine-related movement disorder is possible.
Important information
Do not use with Parkinson's disease, related movement disorders or severe kidney impairment. Older adults and people with moderately impaired kidneys can need a lower exposure. It is not treatment for an unstable chest-pain episode or a heart attack.
Uses
- Add-on symptomatic treatment of stable angina inadequately controlled by or intolerant of other antianginal medicines.
Benefits
Can reduce angina episodes and improve exercise tolerance when added to ongoing stable-angina treatment. Cardiovascular risk reduction and emergency chest-pain treatment remain separate parts of care.
Can I take an extra tablet during sudden chest pain?
No. Trimetazidine is not a rapid-relief angina medicine. Follow the existing chest-pain action plan and seek emergency help for new, severe or persistent pain.
Is trimetazidine a beta-blocker?
No. Its main action is metabolic. It does not primarily work by slowing the heart rate like a beta-blocker.
Why does a new hand tremor matter?
Trimetazidine can cause or worsen Parkinson-like movement symptoms. A new tremor, stiffness or shuffling gait should not be dismissed as normal ageing.
Can it replace all my other angina medicines?
No. Its role is additional symptom control when other treatment is insufficient or not tolerated. It does not provide the same action as nitrates, beta-blockers or antiplatelets.
Stable angina: predictable chest discomfort caused by limited heart-muscle blood supply. Myocardial ischaemia: insufficient oxygen delivery to heart muscle. Metabolic agent: a medicine affecting cellular energy use. Glucose oxidation: energy production from glucose using oxygen.
