A member asked:
Would taking 500 mg ranexa (ranolazine) twice a day interact with bb such as 5 mg bystolic? what are the risks if any?

Shouldn't interact: The two medications are compatible. Most patients who are on Ranexa (ranolazine) are also on a beta blocker for treatment of their coronary artery disease and angina.

Yes - see your doc: Ranexa (ranolazine) is an anti-anginal agent while bystolic (nebivolol) is a blood pressure lowering agent that also slows heart rate. Presumably, doctor who prescribed both drugs should have warned of possible interactions as noted by epocrates.Com & drugs.Com and made appropriate adjustments to dosing. And pharmacist should have commented on this, too. Make sure both know everything you take.
