Potassium and Ranolazine: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 6 records that name Potassium and Ranolazine together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Potassium and Ranolazine. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

6 studies naming Potassium and Ranolazine.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Antiarrhythmic Properties of Ranolazine: Inhibition of Atrial Fibrillation Associated TASK-1 Potassium Channels.

Frontiers in pharmacology · 2019 · PMID 32038227

“We suggest that inhibition of TASK-1 may contribute to the observed antiarrhythmic effects of Ranolazine. This puts forward ranolazine as a prototype drug for the treatment of atrial arrhythmia because of its combined efficacy on atrial electrophysiology and lower risk for ventricular side effects.”

Ratte et al. · From the abstract

Names both Potassium and Ranolazine in its title.

Ranolazine inhibition of hERG potassium channels: drug-pore interactions and reduced potency against inactivation mutants.

Journal of molecular and cellular cardiology · 2014 · PMID 24877995

Human subjects

“Docking simulations indicated that the larger size of ranolazine gives it potential for a greater range of interactions with hERG pore side chains compared to lidocaine, in particular enabling interaction of its two aromatic groups with side chains of both Y652 and F656. The N588K mutation is responsible for the SQT1 variant of short QT syndrome and our data suggest that ranolazine is unlikely to be effective against IKr/hERG in SQT1 patients.”

Du et al. · From the abstract

Names both Potassium and Ranolazine in its title.

Effects of ranolazine on cloned cardiac kv4.3 potassium channels.

The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics · 2011 · PMID 21940646

Animal study

“Ranolazine did not affect the time course of recovery from the inactivation of Kv4.3. The results indicated that ranolazine inhibited Kv4.3 and exhibited a low affinity for Kv4.3 channels in the closed state but a much higher affinity for Kv4.3 channels in the inactivated state.”

Kim et al. · From the abstract

Names both Potassium and Ranolazine in its title.

Protective Effects of Ranolazine on Ventricular Fibrillation Induced by Activation of the ATP-Dependent Potassium Channel in the Rabbit Heart.

Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology and therapeutics · 1996 · PMID 10684411

“The reported ability of ranolazine to prevent the decrease in cellular ATP during periods of a reduced oxygen supply may account for its observed antifibrillatory action. By maintaining intracellular ATP, ranolazine may modulate or prevent further opening of the ATP-dependent potassium channel in response to hypoxia and/or pinacidil.”

Gralinski et al. · From the abstract

Names both Potassium and Ranolazine in its title.

Comprehensive T wave morphology assessment in a randomized clinical study of dofetilide, quinidine, ranolazine, and verapamil.

Journal of the American Heart Association · 2015 · PMID 25870186

Randomized Controlled Trial

“T wave morphology changes are directly related to amount of hERG block; however, with quinidine and ranolazine, multichannel block did not prevent T wave morphology changes. A combined approach of assessing multiple ion channels, along with ECG intervals and T wave morphology may provide the greatest insight into drug-ion channel interactions and torsade de pointes risk.”

Vicente et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Potassium and Ranolazine together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Late na(+) current inhibition by ranolazine reduces torsades de pointes in the chronic atrioventricular block dog model.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology · 2010 · PMID 20170820

Comparative StudyAnimal study

“Despite down-regulation of I(NaL) in remodeled cAVB hearts, ranolazine is antiarrhythmic against drug-induced TdP. The antiarrhythmic effects are reflected in concomitant changes of BVR.”

Antoons et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Potassium and Ranolazine together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Potassium, Ranolazine, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
