Trimetazidine is a drug used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. It is an anti-ischemic drug, meaning it reduces the risk of ischemia, a condition in which the heart does not receive enough oxygen. Trimetazidine works by increasing the efficiency of the heart's energy metabolism, allowing it to use oxygen more efficiently. It is used to treat angina, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart, and to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is also used to treat other cardiovascular conditions such as arrhythmias and heart failure. Trimetazidine is available in both oral and intravenous forms. It is usually taken once or twice a day, depending on the condition being treated. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, nausea, and fatigue. The trimetazidine market is a growing one, with many companies offering the drug. Some of these companies include Sanofi, Novartis, Pfizer, and Merck. Show Less Read more
