I found this to be a wonderful drug for angina. Had angina for almost 2 years and after taking Ranexa for 2 days not one angina attack. I was becoming a cardic invalid before Ranexa. May have to ask doctor for it. Some are slow to prescribe it. Only thing left to say is Ranexa is a wonderful drug. Published: October 29, 2007 ::

leaking valves stomache pain with this med without food Published: January 23, 2008 ::
My chest pain kept me from living a productive life. I could not get a breath with any activity. With all the meds and procedures I've had I should feel great. I didn't. After my last heart angio the Dr. said to try this med. By the end of the week I was in great shape. As far as side afects I'm on a ton of drugs. What drug can't cause side affects? I'm alive and now able to walk a few blocks and keep up the pace on my job. The cost is high. Being able to work, concentrate and keep up with friends/family is worth it. Published: April 18, 2009 ::
