CompositionCytogard OD 80 Capsule is primarily used in the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris, a condition that causes recurring chest pain due to insufficient blood flow to the heart. As an anti-anginal medicine, it works to improve the heart muscle's efficiency in using oxygen, which helps to reduce the frequency and severity of angina episodes and enhances the patient's capacity for physical activity (exercise tolerance).
Cytogard OD 80 Capsule is used for the management of chronic stable angina pectoris in adults, serving as a supportive therapy in combination with other anti-anginal medications to improve exercise tolerance and effectively mitigate the frequency of angina attacks by enhancing the heart muscle's energy use.

Cytogard OD 80 Capsule contains trimetazidine (80 mg) as its active ingredient. Here's how it works:
Shifts Energy Metabolism: Trimetazidine changes how the heart gets its energy. Instead of using fatty acid oxidation, which requires a lot of oxygen, it promotes glucose oxidation which needs less oxygen.
Improves Cardiac Efficiency: By shifting to glucose oxidation, trimetazidine helps the heart function better, even when there is less oxygen during episodes of angina.
Sustains Plasma Levels: The extended-release formulation allows for sustained plasma levels of trimetazidine throughout a 24-hour dosing interval.
If you are pregnant, or planning to conceive, be sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting Cytogard OD 80 Capsule.
