Therapeutic Group
Cardiac TherapyIndication Dosage
Ranolazine is a prescription medication primarily indicated for the treatment of chronic angina, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. It is typically prescribed when other angina medications have not provided sufficient relief or when additional treatment options are necessary to manage the symptoms of angina. Ranolazine works by improving blood flow to the heart and reducing the frequency of angina attacks, helping patients with this condition lead a more comfortable and active life.
