Cytogard 20mg

Description

Product Overview
Cytogard 20 mg Tablet is a prescription cardiovascular medication used for the management of stable angina pectoris (chronic chest pain), coronary artery disease, and ischemic heart disease. It helps improve the energy metabolism of heart muscle cells during periods of reduced oxygen supply, allowing the heart to function more efficiently. Cytogard is commonly prescribed as an add-on treatment alongside other anti-anginal medications to help reduce the frequency of angina attacks and improve exercise tolerance.

Active Ingredient

Trimetazidine Hydrochloride 20 mg

Trimetazidine belongs to a class of medicines known as Metabolic Anti-Anginal Agents.

How It Works

Trimetazidine works by improving the energy production process within heart muscle cells. During periods of reduced blood flow and oxygen supply, it helps the heart utilize oxygen more efficiently, protecting cardiac cells from ischemic damage and supporting normal heart function. Unlike traditional anti-anginal medications, Cytogard does not significantly affect heart rate or blood pressure.
