Vestar MR Tablet 35 mg contains Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride, a metabolic anti-anginal medicine used for the symptomatic treatment of stable angina pectoris. It is generally prescribed as an add-on therapy in patients whose angina symptoms are not adequately controlled by conventional anti-anginal medicines or for those who cannot tolerate first-line treatments. Trimetazidine helps improve the heart’s energy metabolism during reduced oxygen supply, allowing the heart muscle to function more efficiently.

Unlike many traditional anti-anginal drugs, Trimetazidine does not significantly affect blood pressure or heart rate. Instead, it works at the cellular level by shifting cardiac energy production from fatty acid metabolism to glucose metabolism, which requires less oxygen and produces energy more efficiently. This mechanism helps reduce episodes of chest pain and improves exercise tolerance in patients with chronic stable angina.

Composition

• Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride BP 35 mg

Indications

Vestar MR Tablet is indicated for:

• Symptomatic treatment of stable angina pectoris
• Add-on therapy in coronary artery disease
• Patients inadequately controlled by first-line anti-anginal medications
• Patients intolerant to conventional anti-anginal therapy

How It Works

Trimetazidine acts as a metabolic anti-ischemic agent. It inhibits fatty acid oxidation and promotes glucose oxidation in heart muscle cells. Since glucose metabolism uses oxygen more efficiently, the heart can produce more energy with less oxygen consumption. This helps protect cardiac cells during ischemia and reduces angina symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

The usual recommended dose is:

• One Vestar MR 35 mg tablet twice daily, preferably during meals, or as directed by a registered physician.

Patients should take the tablet whole with water and should not crush or chew the modified-release tablet.
