Active ingredients

The drug TARKA contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1 Verapamil
UNII V3888OEY5R - VERAPAMIL HYDROCHLORIDE

Verapamil inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into the heart and vascular smooth muscle cell. The myocardial oxygen demand is lowered directly as a result of the effect on the energy consuming metabolic processes of the myocardial cell and indirectly due to a reduction of the afterload. Due to its effect on coronary vascular smooth muscle, verapamil enhances myocardial blood flow, even in post‐stenotic areas, and relieves coronary spasms. These properties contribute to the anti‐ischaemic and antianginal efficacy of verapamil in all types of coronary artery disease.

2 Trandolapril
UNII 1T0N3G9CRC - TRANDOLAPRIL

Trandolapril is a prodrug, which is rapidly, non-specifically hydrolysed to its potent, long-acting active metabolite, trandolaprilat (other metabolites are inactive) and acts as an orally-active angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) without a sulphydryl group. In addition to inhibition of plasma ACE, trandolapril has been experimentally shown to inhibit tissue ACE (particularly vascular, cardial and adrenal). The clinical relevance of tissue ACE inhibition has not been established in humans.
