Ranexa For Angina
UpdatedMy doctor gave me this because I have angina and when I lay down it hurts worse. What are the known side effects of this drug?

Here's some more information on it:
Ranexa Info Click Here
This is not recommended for use during an acute angina attack, and it does carry various side effects, and there are some other meds and medical conditions that it can cause problems with, as you will see from the link I posted above.
If it is causing your problems, there are other drug treatment options available, so you could talk to your doctor about it, and maybe try something else.
I am not finding that listed in the monographs. You could try also checking with your doctor or pharmacy.
