Trivozid Od 80 Capsule 10

Trivozid Od 80 Capsule 10 is used to manage chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.

Uses of Trivozid Od 80 Capsule 10 are:

• Stable angina pectoris: This medicine is used as an add-on treatment to reduce the frequency of chest pain episodes in adults whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by first-line anti-anginal medicines such as beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers. Angina pectoris is chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood, usually because of narrowed coronary arteries.

Follow these instructions whilst taking Trivozid Od 80 Capsule 10:

• Take the capsule with a meal.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew or break the capsule, as this will destroy its extended-release properties.
• This medicine is for regular, long-term use to prevent angina attacks and will not relieve an acute attack.
• Consult your doctor for specific advice on how to take this medicine.

Trivozid Od 80 Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Trivozid Od 80 Capsule 10 contains trimetazidine (80 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibits fatty acid breakdown: Trimetazidine partly blocks an enzyme called 3-ketoacyl-coenzyme A thiolase, which is the last step in breaking down fatty acids (a type of fat) for energy in heart muscle cells.
• Shifts energy production to glucose: By reducing fatty acid use, this medicine helps the heart muscle produce energy from glucose (a simple sugar) instead, which requires less oxygen to generate the same amount of energy.
• Protects heart cells during low oxygen supply: This shift in energy production helps preserve energy levels inside heart cells when blood flow and oxygen supply are reduced, protecting the cells from damage during ischaemia (reduced blood flow).

• Store below below 30 °C as printed on the packaging.

• Keep the capsules in their original strip and carton to protect them from light and moisture.

• Store the medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date shown on the pack.

• Do not remove capsules from the strip until you are ready to take them.

• Follow a heart-healthy eating pattern: Choose more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and pulses, and limit foods high in saturated fat to support overall cardiovascular health.

• Plan activity around your angina symptoms: Follow the physical activity plan your doctor recommends, and avoid suddenly increasing exertion if it brings on chest discomfort.
