Ranexa - User Reviews
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.

Very rewarding medication that has kept me going at more normal pace. I tried reducing it by one half and my discomforts started again, went back to my normal two a day and i am fine again. Many thanks to my doctor for recomming it.
I had chest pain and couldnt catch my breath and jaw pain all the time and my arms hurt so far I have only had a few flare ups. I am so happy about this drug. if this drug wasnt around i would be facing open heart surgey.

Twice daily is required for myself. Went down to once daily and pain returned.
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.
Ranexa has helped my angina, but I am so tired, and have had pain in my bones, I am not sure that this is a side effect from the medication.
This medication has helped with the ease of chest pain and breathing. I am able to perform my job functions better with this medication.
I have been taking two 500mg tablets a day for about 8 months. It helped me in the beginning, but lately I am having moderate angina more often than before I started Ranexa. The handout says to not take more than 1000 per dose or 2000 per day. I will ask my doctor if three 500mg per day would be beneficial. Does anyone else take more than two 500 mg per day? Thank God for Nitro.

My husband has had angina for several years and it has done wonders for his condition. He has only been on it for a little over a week and has had to take only one nitro pill and he had only been on it for two days,but has not had angina since.
