The drug Ranexa (ranolazine) may help reduce chest pain in people with type 2 diabetes, a new study finds.
The drug is approved in the United States for treatment of chronic angina (chest pain), but this is the first study to evaluate it in patients with diabetes, heart disease and angina, according to the researchers.
One expert not connected to the study said the findings are welcome news for patients.
