How Can Severe Angina Be Treated?
My husband has severe angina. He has been prescribed a nitro patch 4 mg, Isosorb 30 mg two pills twice daily, ranexa 500 mg two pills twice daily or one 1000 mg (new presc.) twice daily. I have inadvertently failed to see the TWO pills twice on Isosorb and ranexa. He seems to have been doing pretty well with the one pill although requires a nitro pill occasionally. Should I up the dosage to the prescribed amount? It seems like a pretty heavy dosage. He also takes metformin 500 mg twice daily etc.
