About Creato SR 35mg Tablet
Creato SR 35mg Tablet contains Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride, a metabolic antianginal agent used as maintenance therapy for stable angina pectoris. Unlike nitrates or calcium channel blockers, Trimetazidine works at the cellular level — it optimises the energy metabolism of heart cells (cardiomyocytes) by shifting substrate utilisation from fatty acid oxidation to glucose oxidation, a more oxygen-efficient process. This reduces myocardial ischaemia and preserves heart cell function during reduced blood flow.
Creato SR is indicated when other antianginal treatments are insufficient or not tolerated. It improves exercise tolerance, reduces the frequency of anginal episodes, and decreases the need for short-acting nitrates. It is not used for immediate relief of acute angina attacks. Important EU-regulatory note: Trimetazidine is contraindicated in patients with Parkinson's disease, parkinsonian symptoms, tremors, restless legs syndrome, or other movement disorders — patients should report any such symptoms to their doctor immediately.
This medicine must be taken only under the supervision of a registered cardiologist. A valid prescription is required. Consult your doctor before starting, stopping, or changing the dose.
Key Benefits
- Reduces frequency and severity of angina (chest pain) episodes
- Improves exercise tolerance in coronary artery disease patients
- Preserves heart cell energy during ischaemia (oxygen shortage)
- Decreases reliance on short-acting nitrate rescue medication
- Optimises myocardial glucose oxidation for efficient heart function
- Suitable for long-term cardiac maintenance therapy
How to Use
Take Creato SR 35mg Tablet twice daily (morning and evening) with food, or as directed by your cardiologist. Swallow the tablet whole — do not crush or chew as this is a sustained-release formulation. Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly without medical advice. Consistent long-term use is required for therapeutic benefit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Creato SR 35mg used for?
A: It is used as long-term maintenance therapy to prevent angina episodes and improve heart efficiency in patients with stable coronary artery disease. It requires a valid prescription from a cardiologist.
Q: Can I use Creato SR for sudden chest pain?
A: No. Creato SR is a maintenance medicine, not a rescue medication. For acute chest pain attacks, use your prescribed short-acting nitrate and seek emergency care immediately.
Q: Are there any movement-related side effects I should watch for?
A: Yes. Trimetazidine can, in rare cases, cause or worsen parkinsonian symptoms (tremors, stiffness, slow movement) or restless legs syndrome. Report any such symptoms to your doctor promptly. The medicine should be stopped if these occur. Explore our General Medicines collection or browse our full range of Tablets and Capsules at derma.pk.

FAQs
What is Creato SR 35mg used for?
It is a prescription maintenance therapy for stable angina pectoris. It reduces chest pain frequency and improves heart efficiency. It is not for acute angina attacks.
Can I take Creato SR without a prescription?
No. Creato SR (Trimetazidine) is a prescription-only Rx medicine. Always use under a registered cardiologist's supervision with a valid prescription.
What movement-related side effects should I watch for?
Trimetazidine can rarely cause or worsen parkinsonian symptoms (tremors, stiffness, slow movement) or restless legs syndrome. Report any such symptoms immediately to your doctor and do not stop the medicine abruptly without guidance.
