>>new-onset patients who choose ranexa

Well it's still not first line, so undoubtedly they will be put on beta blockers, etc. first.

An angina attack is no small thing for most folks, so I'm pretty sure most patients will happily add a couple of pills a day to avoid one extra attack a week.

Personally I think European sales will be an important key. They use medication much more than surgical intervention there, so potentially the market there is bigger than the US market (although don't know anything about pricing).

This is the sort of drug where sales build slowly but surely over several years. These patients don't get better, and if it works they will stay on it.
