Is Isosorbide And Hospice Safe To Be Taken While Treating Coronary Heart Disease?
mother- in- law diagnosed with Diffuse Coronary Heart Disease and put into hospice. Prescribed Ranexa and Isosorbide by Cardiolist at hospital. Hospice Dr. states both medicines perform the same function - reduce angina and wants to stop one of the two, stating she is being overmedicated. Can she take both presciptions?

Hello
I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that diffuse coronary artery disease in an elderly usually requires more than one anti anginal meds to control angina. She is not being over medicated. Yes you can continue with both and do not stop or change any medicine with consulting your treating cardiologist.
I wish her good health
