Trimetazidine

Anti anginals

Description

Trimetazidine (TMZ) is a medication used to treat heart-related conditions like angina. It helps metabolize fatty acids, which helps your body use oxygen. The drug allows for more blood flow to your heart and limits quick changes in your blood pressure. This can help lessen chest pain from blocked blood vessels.

Mechanism of action

The best known trimetazidine mechanism of action is its capacity to inhibit β-oxidation of free fatty acid (FFA) [1]. FFA oxidation provides more energy, but it is associated with increased oxygen consumption.
