View allI've had a heart stroke before, back in 2008, and my doctor told me to take Ranozex 1gm twice a day. He also recommended a thallium test. I'm wondering if I could switch to RANCAD 1000mg Ranolazine from Lupin Ltd instead of the Ranozex 1gm. Is it okay to use different brands of the same medication? Just want to make sure it's safe.
yes u can take the medication composition is same only brand name is different..

My brother has been having chest pain so we got a CT angiography done as advised by the doctor. Can you check the report and tell us if there's any blockage and whether he might need heart surgery? We're really worried and would appreciate your advice.
kindly share report

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now and I'm getting a bit concerned. It's been nearly 80 days since I first had a fever and lost my sense of smell, although those symptoms have improved. My CBC, ESR, and CRP tests came back normal, but about two weeks after my initial symptoms started, I began experiencing chest pain. The chest pain has mostly gone away, but every now and then it returns, and I still feel this tightness and heaviness in my chest. I haven't had any shortness of breath, and my SpO2 levels are between 96 and 98 after a six-minute walk. An ECG has been done, and the cardiologist said it's normal, diagnosing the pain as muscular. I just had a chest X-ray today, and I'm curious if it's normal. Also, my left nostril sometimes gets blocked, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Can you please help me understand when I might start feeling like myself again?
Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d ,orally for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days .
