For Angina "I was given Ranexa by my physician assistant for some minor chest pain. I took 4 doses of Ranexa (500 mg) as prescribed. I experienced dizziness, was lightheaded. That evening, about midnight, while I was in bed, I had uncontrollable diarrhea, headed to the bathroom, changed pajamas, and immediately had uncontrollable diarrhea again. Returning to bed, I experienced the uncontrollable diarrhea while asleep. I did not take any more and ended up in the hospital emergency room severely dehydrated. I was there two days with numerous tests. After this experience, I would never take this again. I destroyed the rest of the pills."

For Angina "This caused dizziness, diarrhea, low blood pressure, nausea, and eventually liver failure for my parent after less than one month of use. Research this before you start taking this drug."
