How it works

Trimetazidine is a metabolic anti-anginal agent. It shifts cardiac energy metabolism from fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation, improving the efficiency of oxygen use in heart cells. This helps reduce ischemia-related symptoms such as angina without significantly affecting heart rate or blood pressure.
