Vastarel Mr 35mg Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride

Generic Name

Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride

About The Drug

Vastarel MR 35 mg is a medicine used to help people with stable angina feel better during daily activities. It does not work like a painkiller or a fast-acting emergency medicine. Instead, it helps the heart use energy more efficiently, which may reduce chest discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It is usually taken regularly as part of a long-term treatment plan, often together with other heart medicines recommended by your doctor.

Indications

When do you need this medication?

* Stable angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart): Helps reduce the frequency of angina attacks and improves your ability to do everyday activities.

* Supportive treatment in chronic heart-related chest discomfort: May be used as an add-on medicine when standard treatments are not enough to control symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

How to use the drug safely and effectively?

* Usual Dosage:

* Adults: The usual dose is 1 tablet (35 mg) twice daily, one in the morning and one in the evening, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

* Children and adolescents: This medicine is generally not recommended for people under 18 years old unless specifically prescribed by a doctor.

* Method of Administration:

* Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

* Take it with meals to help your body tolerate it better.

* Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet, especially because it is a modified-release tablet.

* Take it at the same times each day to help you remember.

* If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not take two doses at once.

Side Effects

What might you feel?

Like all medicines, Vastarel MR may cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. Common or possible side effects include:

* Dizziness or headache

* Feeling sick to your stomach

* Abdominal pain or indigestion

* Weakness or tiredness

* Skin rash or itching

* Movement-related side effects such as tremor, unsteady walking, stiffness, or slow movements — these are uncommon but important to report quickly

If you notice unusual movement problems, stop taking the medicine and contact your doctor promptly.

Warnings and Precautions

Drug Interactions

Pay special attention if you are also taking:

* Other medicines that may cause dizziness or balance problems

Additional Advice

* Take Vastarel MR exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
