Iloprost treatment - twitching side effect?

I underwent my Iloprost treatment and suffered from a severe headache and nausea.

I did experience a lot of twitching. I asked a nurse and she said this wasnt listed under side effects.

Has anyone else experienced twitching?

Hello Bertie, how many days treatment did you have, and on what day did the headaches/nausea start and the twitching?

Hi Bertie. I did Illoprost treatment for a number of years and I remember the headaches, the nausea and what you describe as twitching which in my case was an overall skin crawling feeling, I was given the chance to try Siladifil whose common name term is Viagara and in my case I feel much happy doing this twelve months of the year so I pass now on the Illoprost treatment. I guess like anything that combats this illness you have to do trial and error, But it is good to report that I have not had any ulcers for a number of years so something is working. Regards Credit Crunchie.

PS sorry but I also have a daily dose of nifedipine aka Adalat which is slow release so the combination really helps. Credit Crunchie
