Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

TRIMETAZIDINE-80MG

Uses:

Treatment of Angina pectoris

Medicinal Benefits:

Carvidon-OD 80 Capsule contains Trimetazidine, which is a 'metabolic agent'. It affects metabolism (the process by which substances are broken down in the body). Carvidon-OD 80 Capsule decreases the body's oxygen requirement by shifting metabolism from fats to glucose, increasing the rate at which glucose is broken down. Hence, the heart works efficiently and requires less oxygen. In addition to this, it is also used in treating vertigo (a spinning sensation) and tinnitus (a ringing sensation in the ears) and to treat reduced vision and visual field disturbances (unclear or disturbed vision).
