Can tandospirone cause increased heart rate?

Tandospirone refers to tandospirone citrate, which is commonly available in tablet and capsule formulations. In general, tandospirone citrate may cause an increased heart rate. Specific details are as follows:

Tandospirone citrate is an antianxiety agent used to treat anxiety states associated with various neuroses, such as generalized anxiety disorder, as well as anxiety symptoms accompanying physical conditions including essential hypertension and peptic ulcer. Tandospirone citrate reduces tension in the blood vessel walls, leading to vasoconstriction and increased blood circulation, which raises cardiac workload and consequently accelerates heart rate. Additionally, symptoms such as palpitations and chest tightness may occur.

Patients are advised to take this medication strictly as prescribed by their physician. If severe discomfort or adverse symptoms develop, prompt medical attention is recommended to avoid potentially serious consequences.
