• Use in combination with other anti-anginal medicines: These include beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and nitrates.

• Use alongside treatments for conditions often co-existing with angina: These include anti-platelet agents, lipid-lowering therapies, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers.

Ranogard Tablet is taken orally.

Ranogard Tablet contains ranolazine (500 mg), which has several mechanisms of action on your body:

• Improved Oxygen Utilisation: Ranolazine assists in enhancing your heart's oxygen utilisation. This lets your heart function more efficiently, even with less oxygen.

• Energy State Maintenance: During ischemia (a condition where blood flow and thus oxygen is restricted), ranolazine helps in maintaining the energy state of your heart.

• Reduction of Calcium Overload: Excessive calcium in cardiac cells can lead to complications. Ranolazine helps in reducing this overload of calcium in these cells.

• Store Ranogard Tablet at a consistent room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect it from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is kept safely out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the pack before taking the medicine.

• Incorporate a heart-healthy diet in your routine, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. It can help manage chronic angina pectoris, a condition Ranogard Tablet is used to manage.

• Regular moderate exercise, as advised by your doctor, can strengthen your heart muscles over time and prevent angina attacks. However, it's crucial not to overexert yourself without consulting your doctor first.
