Long-term treatment of Ischaemic heart disease (angina pectoris, sequelae of infarction).

Other Anti-anginal & Anti-ischaemic drugs

Trimetazidine is an anti-ischemic (anti-anginal) metabolic agent, which improves myocardial glucose utilization through inhibition of long-chain 3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase activity, which results in a reduction in fatty acid oxidation and a stimulation of glucose oxidation. High fatty acid oxidation rates are detrimental during ischemia due to an inhibition of glucose oxidation leading to uncoupling of glycolysis and an increase in proton production, which has the potential to accelerate sodium and calcium overload in the heart. This leads to an exacerbation of ischemic injury and decreased cardiac efficiency during reperfusion.

One 20 mg tablet thrice daily after meals. No dosage adjustments are required in patients with impaired renal and hepatic function.

One 35 mg modified release tablet twice daily at mealtimes in the morning and evening.

No drug interactions have so far been reported. In particular, no interactions of Trimetazidine with beta-blockers, calcium antagonists, nitrates, heparin, hypolipidemic agents or digitalis have been reported.
