Core Tip |
Calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) are the first line of therapy for vasospastic angina (VSA). Here, we report two cases of VSA with an increase in the frequency of angina attacks after switching from a brand-name to a generic CCB. Switching back to the original CCB improved the patients’ condition in both cases. Both cases involved highly severe VSA. It is important for cardiologists to check whether VSA patients who have refractory angina attacks while taking a CCB are taking a brand-name or generic CCB. |
