No, Trimetazidine is not a beta blocker. It is an anti-anginal medicine which is used in combination with other medicines to treat angina pectoris (chest pain caused by coronary disease). It protects the heart cells from getting affected by the reduced oxygen supply during an episode of angina.
Q. Who should not take Trimetazidine?
You should not take Trimetazidine if you are allergic to it or have severe kidney problems. Patients with Parkinson’s disease should also avoid taking Trimetazidine. Parkinson’s disease is a disease of the brain which affects movement and causes trembling, rigid posture, slow movements and a shuffling, unbalanced walk.
Q. Can Trimetazidine be used in elderly patients?
Trimetazidine should be used with caution in patients aged more than 75 years of age. Usually, a lower dose is prescribed in elderly patients to reduce the chances of adverse effects. It is important to continuously monitor such patients.

Q. How long does Metoprolol Succinate take to work?
The time taken by Metoprolol Succinate to start working varies from person to person. Usually, Metoprolol Succinate starts working within 15 minutes. However, in some patients, it may take up to 2 hours to start showing its beneficial effects. It starts acting slowly and the maximum or full effect is usually experienced within a span of 1 week. In case you do not feel any difference while taking Metoprolol Succinate, do not panic. The medicine exerts its beneficial effects when taken for a long time.
Q. Is taking Metoprolol Succinate dangerous?
Metoprolol Succinate is usually safe when taken as per the doctor’s prescription. This medicine exhibits dangerous effects if the medicine is stopped suddenly.
