Trimetazidine is a drug used to treat angina and improve symptoms. It works by inhibiting an enzyme involved in fatty acid metabolism, shifting energy production in the heart from fatty acids to glucose. This improves energy production in the heart. Trimetazidine is indicated for treatment of severe chest pain from angina and prevention of anginal attacks. Common side effects include dizziness, low blood pressure, pruritus, nausea, and vomiting. Nurses should monitor vital signs, watch for signs of adverse reactions, and document the patient's response to the medication.
