Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking HCM!
I would like to say that you can try to take Ranexa one time a day in the morning till you and the medications.
You have to wait, the only complication in this case are an increase in chest pain frequencies and severity.
I recommend to take isosorbite mononitrate on the regular bases which are cheaper than ranexa. In case of severe angina don't hesitate to go immediately to the ER.
Hope this was of help!
