Metoprolol+trimetazidine
About Metoprolol+trimetazidine
Metoprolol+trimetazidine is used to treat heart-related chest pain (angina). Angina is chest pain which happens when an adequate supply of oxygen does not reach the heart due to any obstruction in the pathway or narrowed blood vessels.
Metoprolol+trimetazidine contains Metoprolol and Trimetazidine. Metoprolol lowers heart rate and blood pressure, reducing the heart's workload and oxygen demand. Trimetazidine helps maintain the heart muscle's energy metabolism, particularly during low oxygen periods. Together, Metoprolol+trimetazidine helps treat angina.
The common side effects of Metoprolol+trimetazidine may include dizziness, weakness, stomach pain, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, and indigestion. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, consult the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
