Introduction
Curime is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Trimetazidine. It is available in tablet form and is commonly prescribed under the brand name Curime.
Uses
Curime is primarily used in the treatment of certain heart conditions, such as angina pectoris (chest pain) and ischemic heart disease. It helps to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Curime will vary depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dosage for adults is one tablet taken twice daily. It is best to take the tablet with a meal to enhance absorption.
Mechanism of Action
Trimetazidine, the active ingredient in Curime, works by improving the energy metabolism of the heart cells. It does this by enhancing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary source of energy for the heart. By optimizing the energy utilization in the heart muscle, Trimetazidine helps to reduce the oxygen requirements of the heart and improve its overall function.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and transient, and they tend to resolve on their own. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.
In rare cases, Curime may cause serious side effects such as allergic reactions, irregular heartbeat, or severe dizziness. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

There are certain medications that should be used with caution or avoided altogether when taking Curime. These may include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and antiarrhythmic medications. Your healthcare professional will assess the potential interactions and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
