Can you recommend which Saffola oil is better for a heart patient, especially after they've recently dealt with heart issues? I'm really worried and want to make sure I choose the best option for their health.

For heart health, Saffola Total Pro Heart Oil is a good option. It contains a blend of rice bran oil and safflower oil, which is rich in oryzanol and natural Vitamin E. The recommended dosage is 2-3 teaspoons per day for cooking purposes.

I'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..
