trimetazidine
Vastarel MR (trimetazidine 35 mg Modified Release) abridged prescribing information
Composition:
Trimetazidine dihydrochloride 35 mg, modified release.
Indication:
Long-term treatment of angina pectoris.
Other applications:
In France and possibly other countries, Trimetazidine is prescribed for the treatment of tinnitus, vertigo or dizziness, and for the treatment of visual problems thought to have a circulatory basis. The dosage and administration in these cases is identical as for cardiac applications (see below).
Dosage and administration:
One tablet at mealtimes in the morning and evening.
Pharmacodynamic properties:
By preserving the energy metabolism in cells exposed to hypoxia or ischemia, trimetazidine prevents a decrease in intracellular ATP levels, thereby ensuring the proper functioning of ionic pumps and transmembranous sodium-potassium flow whilst maintaining cellular homeostasis.
In man: controlled studies in angina patients have shown that trimetazidine increases coronary flow reserve, thereby delaying the onset of ischemia associated with exercise, limits rapid swings in blood pressure without any significant variations in heart rate, significantly decreases the frequency of angina attacks, and leads to a significant decrease in the use of nitrates.
Side effects:
Rare cases of gastrointestinal disorders.
Presentation:
Packs of 60 tablets of Vastarel 35mg.
