General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Ranexa is composed of 'Ranolazine', which is a drug used to treat angina. Isordil is composed of 'Isosorbide dinitrate', which is a medication used for heart failure.

It dilates (widens) blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them and easier for the heart to pump.

There were no interactions found to exist between Isordil and Ranexa. However, it does not necessarily mean that no interactions exist.

They can be taken together if the doctor feels its necessary, under medical supervision.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
