About Ranozex Tablet

Ranozex Tablet belongs to the class of anti-anginal medications. It is used alone or with other medicines to treat angina pectoris. Angina pectoris is discomfort in the chest or chest pain, which generally occurs due to coronary artery disease (CAD) when an adequate amount of oxygen and blood is not reaching the heart and its muscles. It can also be due to the blockage of the heart's arteries. It helps prevent any further attack of angina by making the heart work more efficiently, and it is used as an add-on to existing treatment in patients whose disease is not adequately controlled by other medicines for angina pectoris, such as beta-blockers or calcium antagonists, or in patients who cannot take these medicines.

The active substance in Ranozex Tablet is Ranolazine, which reduces sodium ions flow into the heart muscle cells. This interferes with the activity of special channels on the cell surface called 'sodium-dependent calcium channels through which calcium ions normally enter the cells. This reduces the number of calcium ions that enter the cells. Calcium ions normally cause the heart muscle to contract. By reducing the flow of calcium into the cells, Ranozex Tablet is thought to help the heart to relax, improving blood flow to the heart muscle and relieving the symptoms of angina pectoris.

Your doctor will tell you how to take the Ranozex Tablet based on your medical condition. You may sometimes experience constipation, dizziness, headache, or feeling sick. Most of these side effects of Ranozex Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not consume Ranozex Tablet if you are allergic to any component in this medicine. Ranozex Tablet should not be stopped even if you feel better for the best results as it prevents any future harm. If you stop taking the Ranozex Tablet on your own, your chest pain can come back in more severe form. If you plan to get pregnant or are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor to avoid any unwanted harm to the baby. Some lifestyle modifications are important for best results when taking Ranozex Tablet like smoking cessation, decreasing alcohol intake, eating well, regular exercise, and managing stress. Ranozex Tablet should be taken with caution if you have any liver or kidney problems. Also, inform your doctor if you are taking other medications to avoid unwanted side effects or contraindications.
