About
Ranozed 500 contains Ranolazine, an anti-anginal agent that works through a novel mechanism of action, primarily by selectively inhibiting the late sodium current (INa) in cardiac myocytes. By reducing this late sodium current, Ranolazine helps to decrease intracellular calcium overload, which is a key factor in myocardial ischemia and dysfunction. This action improves myocardial relaxation and reduces myocardial oxygen demand without significantly affecting heart rate or blood pressure, unlike traditional anti-anginal drugs. Ranolazine is indicated for the treatment of chronic stable angina in patients who have not achieved adequate relief with other anti-anginal medications or who cannot tolerate them. It helps to reduce the frequency of angina attacks and improve exercise tolerance, enhancing the quality of life for patients with persistent angina.
