Metacardia MR

Trade Name:

Metacardia MR

Composition

Each tablet contains:

Trimetazidine dihydrochloride 35 mg

Inactive ingredients:

hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate.

Properties

This normalizes the energy metabolism of cells that have undergone hypoxia or ischemia. Prevents a decrease in intracellular ATP content, ensures the normal functioning of membrane ion channels, transmembrane transfer of potassium and sodium ions and the preservation of cellular homeostasis. Trimetazidine inhibits fatty acid oxidation by selectively inhibiting long-chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, which results in increased glucose oxidation and restoration of the coupling between glycolysis and oxidative decarboxylation and has been shown to protect the myocardium from ischemia. Switching fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation underlies the antianginal action of trimetazidine.

Indications

Stable angina — as an additional therapy with insufficient therapeutic effect or intolerance to first-line antianginal therapy.

The duration of therapy is set individually, depending on the clinical situation.
