How Ranolazine works

Ranolazine falls under the Antianginal agent category. It blocks the currents of sodium and potassium ion channels. It has been shown to have modest L-type calcium channel activity, making it a weak direct vasodilator, and it has weak direct effects on atrioventricular nodal conduction. It helps to slow down the heart's oxygen demand by relaxing the cardiac muscle.

Expert Advice

Ranolazine has been recommended for you to treat and prevent heart-related chest discomfort (angina). Take Ranolazine with meals to prevent stomach problems. You should take Ranolazine for as long as prescribed. If you notice any bleeding from the anal passage, blood in your vomit, or black stools, consult your doctor. Follow a nutritious diet (low-fat, high-fibre, low-sodium), stop smoking, exercise more, maintain a healthy weight, and minimise stress levels. Ranolazine may cause dizziness and tiredness. Do not operate a motor vehicle or engage in any activity requiring mental concentration until you have evaluated how the medication will affect you. If you're taking Ranolazine, you should avoid alcoholic beverages because they can cause you to be drowsy than usual. Ranolazine resistance may develop over time, reducing the effectiveness of following doses at the same level. Make sure you stick to your regular dose schedule to prevent this. There is a possibility that Ranolazine may cause headaches, but in most cases, these symptoms go away after a few days of continued treatment. If it continues, you should consult a doctor. Patients with diabetes whose HbA1c is higher will see improvements after taking Ranolazine. You should consult your doctor if you are taking any additional medications in combination with Ranolazine. Ranolazine has the possibility of causing changes in the electrocardiogram (QTc interval prolongation). It is advisable to have an electrocardiogram performed within one to 2 weeks after beginning treatment with the medication.
