Curime 35mg Tablet SR

Introduction

Curime is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Trimetazidine. It is available in tablet form and is used to treat certain heart conditions.

Uses

Curime is primarily prescribed for the treatment of angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort caused by decreased blood flow to the heart. It can be used in patients who are unable to tolerate or have not responded adequately to other angina medications.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Curime may vary depending on the individual patient’s condition and medical history. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dosage is one tablet taken orally once or twice daily, preferably with meals. Swallow the tablet whole and not crush or chew it, as this may affect the way the medication is released in the body.

Mechanism of Action

Trimetazidine, the active ingredient in Curime, works by improving the energy metabolism of the heart muscle cells. It helps the heart to efficiently utilize oxygen and glucose, which can reduce the frequency and severity of angina episodes. By improving the heart’s energy production, Curime helps to maintain the normal functioning of the heart.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Curime may interact with certain medications, including anticoagulants (blood thinners), antiplatelet drugs, and certain medications used to treat high blood pressure. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements, to avoid any potential drug interactions.

Precautions

Before starting Curime, inform your healthcare professional about any existing medical conditions, including kidney or liver problems. This medication is not recommended for use in patients with severe kidney or liver impairment. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Curime, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

Storage

Curime should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if it has expired or if the packaging is damaged.
