Ranomor Tablet ER

Ranomor Tablet ER contains Ranolazine (500mg), an anti-anginal medication used to treat chronic stable angina (chest pain). It works by improving blood flow to the heart, reducing oxygen demand, and helping the heart function efficiently. Unlike other anti-anginal drugs, it does not significantly affect blood pressure or heart rate, making it a preferred option for certain patients.

Uses of Ranomor Tablet ER
