Trimetazidine is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of stable angina pectoris in patients inadequately controlled or intolerant to first line therapies. Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of use with reduced renal or hepatic function, worsening of extrapyramidal symptoms or other movement disorders, and risk of falls.

During myocardial ischemia, anaerobic metabolism takes over, increasing levels of lactic acid. The decreased intracellular pH and increased concentration of protons activates sodium-hydrogen and sodium-calcium antiport systems, raising intracellular calcium concentrations, finally leading to decreased contractility. This injury to the myocardium raises concentrations of catecholamines, which activate hormone sensitive lipase, and increasing fatty acid concentrations in plasma. When the myocardium is repurfused, fatty acid oxidation becomes the dominant form of ATP production, maintaining an acidic pH, and further exacerbating the injury. The mechanism of action of trimetazidine is not fully understood. Trimetazidine may inhibit mitochondrial 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A thiolase, decreasing long chain fatty acid β-oxidation but not glycolysis in the myocardium. The decreased long chain fatty acid β-oxidation is compensated for by increased use of glucose, preventing a lowered myocardial pH, and further decreases in contractility. However, another study suggests that 3-ketoacyl coenzyme A thiolase may not be trimetazidine's target, and that this mechanism may be incorrect.

Trimetazidine can be oxidized at the piperazine ring to form trimetazidine ketopiperazine. Trimetazidine can also be N-formylated, N-acetylated, or N-methylated at the piperazine ring to form N-formyltrimetazidine, N-acetyltrimetazidine, and N-methyltrimetazidine respectively. Alternatively, trimetazidine can be demethylated at the 2, 3, or 4 position of the 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzyl moiety to form 2-desmethyltrimetazidine, 3-desmethyltrimetazidine, or 4-desmethyltrimetazidine. The desmethyltrimetazidine metabolites can undergo sulfate conjugation or glucuronidation prior to elimination.

In elderly patients, a 35 mg oral modified release tablet reaches a mean Cmax of 115 µg/L, with a Tmax of 2.0-5.0 hours, and a mean AUC0-12 of 1104 h\*µg/L. In young, healthy patients, the same dose reaches a mean Cmax of 91.2 µg/L, with a Tmax of 2.0-6.0 hours, and an AUC0-12h 720 h\*µg/L.

Trimetazidine is 79-84% eliminated in the urine, with 60% as the unchanged parent compound. In a study of 4 healthy subjects, individual metabolites made up 0.01-1.4% of the dose recovered in urine. In the urine, 2-desmethyltrimetazidine made up 0-1.4% of the recovered dose, 3- and 4-desmethyltrimetazidine made up 0.039-0.071% each, N-methyltrimetazidine made up 0.015-0.11%, trimetazidine ketopiperazine made up 0.011-0.4%, N-formyltrimetazidine made up 0.035-0.42%, N-acetyltrimetazidine made up 0.016-0.19%, desmethyl trimetazidine O-sulphate made up 0.01-0.65%, and an unknown metabolite made up0.026-0.67%.

The volume of distribution of trimetazidine is 4.8 L/kg.

Trimetazidine clearance is strongly correlated with creatinine clearance. In eldery patients with a creatinine clearance of 72 ± 8 mL/min, trimetazidine clearance was 15.69 L/h. In young, healthy patients with a creatinine clearance of 134 ± 18 mL/min, trimetazidine clearance was 25.2 L/h.
