What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

RANEXA (Ranolazine ER) is a medication prescribed for the treatment of chronic angina. RANEXA is often prescribed for patients who have tried and failed beta-blockers due to side effects, for those who cannot take beta-blockers or those in whom beta-blockers have failed.

Angina is a chronic condition where the arteries of the heart do not carry enough oxygen to supply cardiac cells. Angina feels like pressure or squeezing in the chest and the pain may radiate to other parts of the body like the shoulders, jaw, and neck.

RANEXA works by altering the flow of sodium ions through the cell membranes of heart muscle cells. Altering sodium ion flow also changes the number of calcium ions inside the cells. When the concentration of calcium ions is lowered, the tension in the heart ventricles is reduced, lowering how much oxygen heart cells consume.

Directions

Take RANEXA 500 mg by mouth twice daily with or without food. The dose may be increased to 1000 mg twice daily based on efficacy and side effects.

Do not drink grapefruit juice while taking this medication.

Ingredients

The active ingredient and name for RANEXA generic is Ranolazine ER (extended-release).

Cautions

RANEXA has the potential to interact with many medications. Review your medication list with your pharmacist and doctor before starting RANEXA.

RANEXA may increase the QT interval, which is a measure of electrical conductivity in the heart. If RANEXA is combined with other medications that increase the QT interval, this interaction may lead to a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia called Torsades de Pointes (TdP).

Side Effects

Some of the most common adverse reactions that occur when taking RANEXA include:


  • Abdominal pain
  • Bradycardia
  • Constipation
  • Dizziness
  • Dry mouth
  • Dyspnea
  • Headache
  • Hypotension
  • Nausea
  • Orthostatic hypotension
  • Palpitations
  • Peripheral edema
  • Tinnitus
  • Vertigo
  • Vomiting
