Trimetazidine or trimetazine is a piperazine derivative indicated for the symptomatic treatment of stable angina pectoris and vertigo, tinnitus and Ménière's disease. Oral administration in three daily doses.
Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breastmilk.
Its effectiveness is questionable and it has worrisome neurological side effects. European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended restricting its use and using it only as a second-line adjunctive therapy. (EMA 2012)
Until more published data is known about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, known safer alternatives are preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in the event of prematurity.
