Triginal MR Tablet 35 mg (Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride) is a cardiovascular medication primarily used to manage symptoms of angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This medicine helps improve the heart’s energy metabolism, allowing it to function more efficiently even when oxygen supply is limited. Triginal MR Tablet is usually prescribed as an add-on therapy alongside other heart medications for better control of angina symptoms.

Composition and Mechanism of Action
Triginal MR Tablet contains Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride, a metabolic agent that protects heart cells during periods of reduced oxygen supply. Unlike many other heart medicines that mainly affect blood pressure or heart rate, trimetazidine works by improving the metabolism of heart muscle cells.
The drug helps the heart shift its energy production from fatty acid metabolism to glucose metabolism, which requires less oxygen. This process allows the heart muscle to generate energy more efficiently under conditions of oxygen shortage. As a result, the heart is better able to maintain its function and reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
This mechanism makes trimetazidine particularly useful for patients who continue to experience angina symptoms despite taking standard treatments.
Therapeutic Uses
Triginal MR Tablet 35 mg is mainly used in the management of Angina Pectoris, especially stable angina, which occurs during physical exertion or emotional stress due to narrowed coronary arteries.
Doctors may prescribe this medicine to:
-
Reduce the frequency of angina attacks
-
Improve tolerance to physical activity
-
Protect heart muscle from damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply
-
Support other anti-anginal medications in controlling symptoms
Although it helps manage symptoms, trimetazidine does not replace emergency treatment for acute angina attacks.
In some cases, the medicine may also be used to support treatment of conditions related to poor blood circulation in certain organs, although its primary use remains cardiac care.
Dosage and Administration
Triginal MR Tablet is usually taken twice daily, typically one tablet in the morning and one in the evening, preferably with meals. The MR (Modified Release) formulation allows the medication to release slowly over time, maintaining stable levels of the drug in the body.
The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed or chewed. Patients should follow their doctor’s instructions carefully and take the medicine regularly for optimal results.
Because angina is a chronic condition, treatment with Triginal MR Tablet may continue for an extended period under medical supervision.
Possible Side Effects
Like all medications, Triginal MR Tablet may cause side effects in some individuals. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Common side effects include:
-
Dizziness
-
Headache
-
Nausea
-
Stomach discomfort
-
Weakness or fatigue
These effects usually improve as the body adjusts to the medication.
Rare side effects may include movement-related symptoms such as tremors or stiffness, particularly in elderly patients. If such symptoms occur, medical advice should be sought promptly.
