RANOBEST TABLET

Uses and Benefits of RANOBEST TABLET (RANOLAZINE 500MG)

Ranolazine 500mg is mainly used to treat chronic angina, a condition that causes recurring chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood supply to the heart muscle.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Often prescribed with other heart medicines when angina is not controlled well enough alone
• Reducing the frequency of angina episodes over time

HOW IT WORKS
