Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Ranolazine extended-release(ER) tablet?
Ranolazine extended release (ER) means the pill is formulated in such a manner that the drug is released slowly over time and blood levels of a drug are more consistent. This has the advantage of taking fewer pills and also with a lesser gastrointestinal side effect.
Q. Do Ranolazine and trimetazidine act in the same way?
No. Both Ranolazine and trimetazidine are used for the treatment of angina but they work by a different mechanism. Ranolazine works by blocking late sodium current channel during ischemia and thereby lessens the intracellular sodium and calcium overload. This relaxes heart muscles and decreases the oxygen requirement. This helps to prevent angina. Trimetazidine works by improves glucose utilisation of heart cells through inhibition of fatty acid metabolism.
Q. What is the effect of Ranolazine in patients with coronary artery disease?
The researcher has studied Ranolazine in patients with non-ST-elevation coronary artery disease. It did not reduce the risk of death or recurrent heart attacks in patients, but it improves angina symptoms. It is approved for use in angina.

Don't drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.It may produce changes in the ECG (QTc interval prolongation). It is recommended to get an ECG done 1 to 2 weeks after starting the medication.Notify your doctor if you are taking any other medications along with Ranolazine
