User Reviews for Ranexa oral

Placed on 500mg twices a day. After third pill developed AV block, prolonged QT, flat ps, nausea, diaphoresis, hypotension requiring emergency hospitalization. All listed in literature as rare side effects. Never again!

Take 1000 mg twice a day. Have to cut in half to handle. Feel weak after taking pill. I believe it is because of thyroid problems I have. I start medicine for thyroid in a couple of days. Maybe that will solve the problem with Ranxea.

works well and finally achieves severe pain like axe in chest....need to find out if this drug can remove taste and smell, have done a lot of searching and cannot locate answer...anyone know please reply???

For the first two weeks on Ranexa I was very agitated. The first few days it seemed to boast my energy level then the agitation started as my energy level subsided.

Had to increase to maximum dosage 2000mg a day very quickly, but works very well for my 20 year bout with angina. Had to stop Imdur for it to work, the two drugs don't seem to work well together. Some side effects but worth the results.

is this Rx safe with cephalexin?

cost to much

I take this medication 500 mg in the morning at 8:00 a.m , 500mg at 2:00 p.m and 1000 mg at 8:00 pm and I still have tightness and hard heart beats during the day.

I HAD A SEVERE HEART ATTACK SEVERAL YRS AGO WICH AL TEST HAVE NOT SHOWN WHY..MY CHORESTROL LEVELS ARE GREAT, TRIGLYCERIDES ARE GREAT, NO REASON...HOWEVER, A FEW YRS LATER I HAVE EXTREME JAW/CHEST PAIN JUST LIKE MY HEART ATTACK. RANEXA HAS HELPED TO A DEGREE AND I AM STILL PERPLEXED WHY I KEEP GETTING ANGINIA...

muscle aches in legs- cost is high-I often forget to take the 2nd pill

Before I started taking Ranexa, I had a tightness in my chest. Once I started taking it on a regular basis, the tightness went away. However, Ranexa is a very expensive medicine even with Insurance. There has to be a generic brand to replace it.

When I first started on it, I had some moments of extreme breathlessness, but that quickly passed. I had a less than continuous squeezing, and it was in my back more often than my chest. When I was tired, I'd have what I thought of as a true anginal pain, and Ranexa just made it go away. But the problem is, it just costs so much, and none of the drug plans pick it up unless you yell. If you're on Medicare Part D, it alone puts you in the donut hole by June. But it made me much more active. I lost weight and put on muscle, and I feel better than in years. Read More Read Less
