About KADRIN 60MG TABLET SR

KADRIN 60MG TABLET SR is used to prevent an attack of angina pectoris (chest pain caused by coronary disease) in adult patients in combination with other medication. Angina is chest pain, which happens when enough supply of oxygen does not reach the heart. The insufficient supply can be due to obstructing the pathway or narrowing the blood vessels.

KADRIN 60MG TABLET SR contains Trimetazidine, which is a 'metabolic agent.' It affects metabolism (the process by which substances are broken down in the body). KADRIN 60MG TABLET SR 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), tinnitus (ringing sensation in the ears), and to treat reduced vision and visual field disturbances (unclear or disturbed vision).

KADRIN 60MG TABLET SR can be taken with or without food. Depending on your disease's condition, it should be taken in dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Also, regularly visit a doctor as the dose may vary from time to time. This medicine's common side effects include dizziness, headache, diarrhoea, vomiting, indigestion, abdominal pain, and feeling sick. Everyone doesn't need to experience the above side effects. In case of any discomfort, speak with a doctor.

KADRIN 60MG TABLET SR should not be stopped suddenly as it may worsen your condition. Also, some lifestyle changes like regular exercise, eating well, smoking cessation, and reducing alcohol can improve the heart's health. People who have a liver or kidney disease, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding should inform the doctor before starting KADRIN 60MG TABLET SR as a dose adjustment may be required.
