Is Ranolazine Advisable For Angina?
I take 4 different tablets to control my angina. On Friday I had a severe and prolonged angina attack. The hospital consultant has prescribed Ranolazine. I am concerned about the side effects so I have not started taking them yet. What advice can you give me on how they will effect me?
