FAQs
What is Angiotec extended-release(ER) tablet?
Angiotec extended release (ER) means the pill is formulated in such a manner that the drug is released slowly over time and blood levels of a drug are more consistent. This has the advantage of taking fewer pills and also with a lesser gastrointestinal side effect.
Do Angiotec and trimetazidine act in the same way?
No. Both Angiotec and trimetazidine are used for the treatment of angina but they work by a different mechanism. Angiotec works by blocking late sodium current channel during ischemia and thereby lessens the intracellular sodium and calcium overload. This relaxes heart muscles and decreases the oxygen requirement. This helps to prevent angina. Trimetazidine works by improves glucose utilisation of heart cells through inhibition of fatty acid metabolism.
