About Taz 20mg Tablet

TRIMETAZIDINE is a heart problem-related medication containing Trimetazidine (anti-anginal drug), which is used to prevent an attack of angina pectoris (chest pain caused by coronary disease) in adult patients in combination with other medication. TRIMETAZIDINE prevents a new attack of angina but does not prevents an acute attack. Angina is chest pain, which happens when enough supply of oxygen does not reach the heart. The insufficient supply can be due to obstruction in the pathway or narrowing of the blood vessels.

TRIMETAZIDINE contains Trimetazidine, which is a 'metabolic agent.' It affects metabolism (the process by which substances are broken down in the body). TRIMETAZIDINE decreases the body's oxygen requirement by shifting metabolism from fats to glucose, increasing the rate at which glucose is broken down. Hence, the heart works efficiently and requires less oxygen. In addition to this, it is also used in treating vertigo (a spinning sensation), tinnitus (ringing sensation in the ears), and to treat reduced vision and visual field disturbances (unclear or disturbed vision).
