[Lindsey11]

Hello my name is Lindsey and Iv got Reynards. My hands are terribly red sometimes purple. Iv been given nifedipine coracten 10mg capsules to take one per day. Does anyone no if this may help with the reddening. It's becoming embarrassing now because there so red. Thank you.

Lindsey, I take nifedipine and it really does help including less redness.

Thank you so much. This has made my day 😊 .. Iv put off taking them for years thinking I'd suffer side effects when all along the redness has been making me so low. Thank you for your reply xx

Yes I take nifedipine with benefit too. The first day it may make you feel a bit funny but 10 mg is a fairly low dose. Good luck!

I take 10mg morning and night and in winter can up to 30mg for the day. One side effect is a bit of tachycardia but otherwise no side effects.

Guys,

I have tried Nifedipine. Took it for a day and I had experienced the worst headache in my life! There is nobody who could convince me to try it again.

I still have 78 tablets in a box. I am very happy to post it to someone who actually can take it!

Please send me a message if you like it and I will post it this week.

I have taken 0mg Coracten (Nifedipine slow release) for 6 months now twice a day and just recently stopped it. It was a bit scary at first due to a very fastened heart beat but I tried taking It before going to bed and that helped the body adjust. So I have had no other side effects after the first week.

Those of you who take Nifedipine - do you do it throughout the whole year or do you stop In the summer months?
