Ranx

Uses
Ranx (Ranolazine) helps the heart to work in a more efficient manner, while also improving the flow of blood. This helps to control and prevent chest pain (angina) which is caused by a lack of oxygen in the heart. Although regular treatment with this drug can reduce the occurrence of angina attacks, it is not meant for use to provide relief during an angina attack.

Dosage and Administration
Ranx (Ranolazine) tablets must be taken regularly in order to effectively control angina symptoms. A visit to your doctor is required before taking this medicine, so that the correct dosage can be prescribed. Adult patients are normally told to take this medication twice per day. Remember that this medication should not be used to treat a sudden angina attack. You must ask your doctor what to do should this occur.

Side effects
As with other medications, Ranx (Ranolazine) can cause side effects, some of which may be mild, and others which may be serious and require immediate medical attention. Some commonly reported side effects include:

• Headaches
• Ringing in the ears
• A dry mouth
• Feeling weak
• Gastrointestinal disturbances

Examples of more severe reactions which require you to see your doctor straight away include blood noticeable in your urine, uncontrolled bodily shaking and breathlessness. This is not a complete list of serious adverse reactions, and should any other side effects occur, you must consult your doctor immediately.

Precautions
Seek immediate emergency medical attention if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms to watch for, which may be indicative of a reaction, include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

Always use Ranx (Ranolazine) as you have been prescribed by your doctor. Never self-medicate or change your dosage without first consulting your doctor. The correct dosage can vary depending on your health, medical history, and the severity of the condition being treated.
