What is Tenormin? Tenormin (atenolol) is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). Tenormin is used to treat angina (chest pain) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Tenormin is also used to lower the risk of death after a heart attack.
Ranexa (ranolazine) is an anti-anginal medication. It works by improving blood flow to help the heart work more efficiently. Ranexa is used to treat chronic angina (chest pain). It is not for use during an acute (emergency) attack of angina. Ranexa may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
