POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Ranexa is available as 375 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg prolonged-release
tablets.
Adults: The recommended initial dose of Ranexa is 375 mg twice daily.
After 2–4 weeks, the dose
should be titrated to 500 mg twice daily and, according to the
patient’s response, further titrated to a
recommended maximum dose of 750 mg twice daily (see section 5.1).
If a patient experiences treatment-related adverse events (e.g.
dizziness, nausea, or vomiting), down-
titration of Ranexa to 500 mg or 375 mg twice daily may be required.
If symptoms do not resolve after
dose reduction, treatment should be discontinued.
Concomitant treatment with CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp)
inhibitors: Careful dose titration is
recommended in patients treated with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g.
diltiazem, fluconazole,
erythromycin) or P-gp inhibitors (e.g. verapamil, ciclosporin) (see
sections 4.4 and 4.5).
Concomitant administration of potent CYP3A4 inhibitors is
contraindicated (see sections 4.3 and 4.5).
Renal impairment: Careful dose titration is recommended in patients
with mild to moderate renal
impairment (creatinine clearance 30–80 ml/min) (see sections 4.4,
4.8, and 5.2). Ranexa is
contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine
clearance
<
30 ml/min) (see
sections 4.3 and 5.2).
