Composition

Ranolazine (500 Mg)

Ranonux 500 Tablet 10 is primarily used to manage chronic stable angina, a condition characterised by chest pain due to reduced blood supply to the heart. This medication falls under the category of anti-anginal agents.

This tablet is also used when other anti-anginal medicines like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers are insufficient in controlling symptoms. It enhances blood flow to the heart muscle, thereby preventing angina attacks.

Before you start taking this medicine, it's essential to consult your doctor about the correct dosage and frequency. Your doctor needs to know about any ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions you may have. If you experience any side effects while on this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking this medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Ranonux 500 Tablet 10 contains ranolazine (500 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

Reduces Sodium Current: Ranolazine reduces the late sodium current in heart muscle cells, minimising the build-up of sodium within these cells.
Decreases Calcium Overload: By reducing intracellular sodium accumulation, ranolazine indirectly decreases calcium overload in heart muscle cells.
Improves Myocardial Relaxation: Ranolazine promotes better relaxation of myocardial cells (heart muscle cells) by maintaining ionic balance.
Reduces Left Ventricular Stiffness: By improving myocardial relaxation, ranolazine decreases left ventricular stiffness, which is a part of your heart's main pumping chamber. This makes it easier for your heart to pump blood, thus reducing the risk of angina attacks.
