Drug and food interactions
ranolazine food
Applies to: Ranexa (ranolazine)
GENERALLY AVOID: Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may significantly increase the plasma concentrations of orally administered ranolazine. The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruit. Because ranolazine prolongs QT interval in a dose-dependent manner, high plasma levels of ranolazine may increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsade de pointes.
MANAGEMENT: Patients treated with ranolazine should avoid consumption of grapefruit juice and other grapefruit products if possible. Otherwise, the dosage of ranolazine should be limited to 500 mg twice a day.
