When can I stop taking trimetazidine?
Usually, TRIMETAZIDINE is prescribed for long-term treatment ranging from weeks to months for treating heart-related conditions and disorders. However, taking it on your own for years without a doctor’s consent can be fatal. Hence, only take it as long as your doctor has prescribed it to you.
Can I take trimetazidine 3 times a day?
This allows the heart to withstand reduced blood flow. Trimetazidine has been shown to reduce angina symptoms in people with stable angina. Usually, trimetazidine is taken twice, or three times, each day. A new altered form of trimetazidine, which can be taken once a day, may improve patient-satisfaction.
Is trimetazidine a maintenance medicine?
Trimetazidine helps to maintain the energy metabolism of heart muscle cells, protecting them from the effects of reduced oxygen supply. When you take this medication regularly on a long term basis, it can help treat angina by reducing the number of times you get angina.
Does trimetazidine lower heart rate?
The dose of trimetazidine does not affect hemodynamic stability, heart rate, blood pressure and speed-pressure multiplication, and it exerts no negative inotropic effect.
Why do athletes take trimetazidine?
Trimetazidine is a metabolic agent that can help prevent angina attacks if used as an “add-on treatment,” according to the European Medicines Agency. It can increase blood flow efficiency and improve endurance — both crucial to any high-end athletic performance.
What happens if you have angina?
Angina is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. It’s not usually life threatening, but it’s a warning sign that you could be at risk of a heart attack or stroke. With treatment and healthy lifestyle changes, it’s possible to control angina and reduce the risk of these more serious problems.
Can angina just go away?
If it’s angina, your symptoms usually ease or go away after a few minutes’ rest, or after taking the medicines your doctor or nurse has prescribed for you, such as glyceryl trinitrate medicine (GTN). If you’re having a heart attack, your symptoms are less likely to ease or go away after resting or taking medicines.
