Ranexa (also known by the generic name Ranolazine) is a medication that is used to treat chronic angina.

Ranexa helps to relieve this pain by increasing blood flow to the heart. Ranexa is often used with other medications to treat chronic angina. Ranexa is not intended to relieve a sudden angina attack.
