Introduction About METAGARD TABLET
METAGARD
TABLET contains Trimetazidine, which belongs to the group of medicines
called Anti-anginal agents. It is used in adult patients for the
management of angina pectoris (chest pain caused by a heart disease)
along with other medicines. It protects the heart cells from the effects
of a reduced oxygen supply during an episode of angina.
Angina
is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It is
a symptom of an underlying coronary heart disease (narrowing or
blockage of blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the heart). It
is characterized by sudden, sharp, and severe pain, pressure, or
discomfort in the chest radiating to the left shoulder. The discomfort
can also be felt in the jaw, neck, back, or abdomen. Some people may
also suffer from shortness of breath or fatigue.
METAGARD TABLET
is not recommended for use if you have Parkinson disease (a brain
disorder that affects movement (trembling, rigid posture, slow
movements, and a shuffling, unbalanced walk)) or severe kidney problems.
This
medicine should be used cautiously in elderly patients (above 75
years), pregnant, and breast-feeding mothers. Do not drive or operate
any machinery if you feel dizzy after taking METAGARD TABLET.
