I started taking ranolazine about a week ago. Ive noticed that my urine has become dark despite my intake of fluids.

Urine discolouration can be caused by ranolazine intake. There is however nothing to be worried about if there is no other symptoms present. If it still is a disturbance, you can consult your doctor for further advise.

Ranolazine

Uses of Ranolazine

How Ranolazine Works

Ranolazine is an anti-anginal drug. It inhibits the late Na current and other cardiac ion channels and transporters. It reduces the magnitude of the late Na current resulting in reduction intracellular Na concentrations, reversal of Ca overload, restoration of ventricular pump function, and prevention of ischaemia-induced arrhythmias.

Side Effects of Ranolazine

Nausea and vomiting, Dizziness, Headache, Constipation, Palpitations, Vertigo, Visual disturbances, Tinnitus, Dry Mouth, Abdominal pain, Hypotension, Haematuria

Information About Ranolazine

Ranolazine is a late sodium current inhibitor used as adjunctive therapy for chronic stable angina in Singapore. Available as a 375mg–750mg extended-release oral tablet taken twice daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Unlike conventional antianginals, ranolazine reduces myocardial ischaemia without affecting heart rate or blood pressure through selective late sodium current inhibition — this unique mechanism allows it to be added to maximally tolerated antianginal therapy when symptoms persist. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Ranolazine online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
