Useful information about RANEXA
What is RANEXA?
RANEXA is the brand name for ranolazine and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is RANEXA available in?
RANEXA is available as a 500 mg and 1000 mg oral tablet.
What is RANEXA used for?
RANEXA is an antianginal that is used to treat a certain type of long-term chest pain (chronic angina).
How does RANEXA work?
RANEXA is an antianginal medication. Angina (chest pain) happens when the heart muscle isn’t getting enough oxygen. The way RANEXA works to treat angina isn’t completely understood. But it’s thought to help your heart work more efficiently by changing the flow of electrolytes in the heart. This might help lower the symptoms of angina.
How do I take RANEXA?
RANEXA is typically started at 500 mg by mouth twice a day. Your provider may raise the dose to a maximum of 1,000 mg twice a day, based on how you respond to the medication.
Is it safe for me to take RANEXA?
RANEXA is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have liver cirrhosis or are taking a strong CYP3A inhibitor (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, lovastatin) or a CYP3A inducer (e.g., rifampin, phenobarbital, St. John’s wort).
