Abstract

The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of Ranolazine on Post Prandial Plasma Glucose(PPPG) in patients of Type –II Diabetes Mellitus with Stable Angina as add on therapy. An open-labeled, randomized, controlled parallel group study was conducted from November 2009 to July 2011 in diagnosed patients of Type –II Diabetes Mellitus with Stable Angina attending the Medicine OPD, Cardiology OPD, Diabetic Clinic and admitted in Medical wards of S.N. medical College and Hospital, Agra. 80 willing patients were recruited on the the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Four patients out of the selected eighty patients refused to take part in study after written consent. The remaining 76 selected patientsrandomly assigned in a1:1 fashion into 2 groups, Control group (Group 1): was on their regular therapy during the 8-week study period. Test group (Group 2): was on Ranolazine 500mg BD (orally) in addition to their regular therapy during the 8-week therapy. The PPPG measurement were done at baseline, repeated after 4 weeks and at the end of treatment(i.e at 8week). Data obtained were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). A statistical significance was reported at a two- tailed p value of 0.05. In group I Post Prandial Plasma Glucose (PPPG) concentration was 209.32 ± 15.85 mg/dl at 0 week, 211.11 ± 14.88 at 4 week and 209.01 ± 15.84 at the end of 8 week, whereas for group II, it was 212.37 ± 14.10 at 0 week, 202.61 ± 10.84 at 4 week and 202.47 ± 10.72 at the end of 8 week. There was decrease in PPPG in Group II and this decrease was statistically significant with P value 0.05 in comparison to group I at end of 8 week after treatment. Ranolazine significantly reduced PPPG in patients of Type –II Diabetes Mellitus with Stable Angina as add on therapy in addition to their regular therapy. As this is a smaller study, larger studies are needed to show the definite effect of Ranolazine on PPPG.
