What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Vastarel is a stable angina treatment medication that is used to reduce arterial pressure on the heart, and Vastarel uses may also be to prevent heart failure or for treatment of peripheral artery disease. Trimetazidine is an anti-ischemic metabolic agent that improves blood flow into the heart and the body’s ability to metabolize fatty acids. Patients on this medication will have less pain from angina and be less at risk of a cardiac event because of insufficient oxygenated blood flow into the heart. You can buy Vastarel MR with a prescription here at Canpharm.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vastarel MR (Trimetazidine)


What is Vastarel MR used for?

Vastarel MR (trimetazidine) is used to treat stable angina pectoris (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). It helps improve the heart's efficiency in using oxygen and reduces the frequency of angina attacks.


What is the mechanism of action of Vastarel?

Trimetazidine enhances cardiac cell metabolism by shifting energy production from fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation. This improves energy efficiency and reduces oxygen demand in the heart cells during ischemic episodes.


What are the positive effects of trimetazidine?

  • Reduces the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
  • Improves exercise tolerance in people with angina.
  • Protects heart cells from damage caused by low oxygen supply.
  • Enhances quality of life for patients with coronary artery disease.

When do you stop taking Vastarel?

Stop taking Vastarel only if advised by your doctor. It may be discontinued if your symptoms are well-managed, if you experience side effects, or if it is no longer considered appropriate for your condition.


What happens if you stop taking trimetazidine?

Stopping trimetazidine may result in the recurrence or worsening of angina symptoms. Always consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication.


Does Vastarel affect blood pressure?

Vastarel does not directly affect blood pressure. It works by improving cardiac efficiency without causing significant changes in blood pressure or heart rate.


What to avoid when taking trimetazidine?

  • Avoid using it as a first-line treatment for angina or during an acute angina attack.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it can worsen side effects.
  • Inform your doctor of any other medications to prevent interactions.

What does trimetazidine do to your heart?

Trimetazidine improves the heart's energy metabolism and reduces damage caused by ischemia (low oxygen supply). It helps the heart function more effectively without increasing its workload.


Should trimetazidine be taken at night or morning?

Trimetazidine can be taken in the morning or evening, depending on your doctor’s recommendation. It is usually taken twice daily, and consistency in timing is important.


Does trimetazidine affect the kidneys?

Trimetazidine may affect kidney function, particularly in individuals with preexisting kidney disease. Dosage adjustments may be required for patients with impaired renal function. Always monitor kidney health during treatment.
