Success with with supplements/alternative treatments for Raynaud's (Curcumin, omega oils, magnesium oil)

My rheumatologist prescribed adalat (Nifedipine), and although it worked, I had to stop taking it because of the side effects (extreme dizziness, nausea, and puffy dry hot hands).

Alternatives from Adalat Retard

My Grandma has been on Adalat retard 20mg for a very long time to manage her blood pressure. Since it’s been discontinued her doctors has been haphazard with finding her a new solution. She has symptoms with Nifedipress 20mg. Has anyone had a better transition from retard? If so which tablet?

Can I stop taking Lercanidipine

A couple of years ago I was prescribed Adalat, not for BP as my BP was always low, but for Raynauds Phenomenom in my feet. It caused Fluid retention in my legs and face so I stopped taking it as I could manage an attack and as summer was coming,less attacks anyway. BP and Raynauds were fine.

Nifedipine/ Coracten

Hi, I've been on Nifedipine 20mg (Adalat Retard) twice daily for about 5 years to help control painful spasms in my forearms related to Raynauds/Scleroderma. I'm also on Carbamazepine, Aspirin, Co-codamol, and Illoprost every 6 months.

Update on Nifedipine

Just to clarify it’s the Bayer Adalat Nifedipine that is no longer available. I’ve now been prescribed Coracten which is another brand of Nifedipine. They don,t do the 5mg ones so I’m on the 20mg moderate release so hopefully they will be ok. Thanks again for all your replies x

Adalat 20mg

He has Raynaulds together with arthritis and has been on Adalat 20 mg for a very long time for the Raynaulds, unfortunately our surgery is having problems getting anymore at this moment in time. I was wondering if anyone else here was on Adalat and if their surgery has had a shortage of it?

Raynauds medication.

I started Adalat two weeks ago and have been mostly ok. I've had an increase in headaches, flushes and urination. Hoping with time on them things would improve. I take 5mg three times a day. The whitening of my fingers has indeed decreased, but the rate they go bright and boiling hot has increased.

Drug availability

Hello all Just wondering if there's anyone who has also had problems getting nifedipine(Adalat) ?. It's such a common blood pressure pill that I'm surprised there are manufacture problems for it!. My GP surgery has put me on a substitute Adalat retard until they can get the original one again.

Anyone else have Raynauds in their 30's

I have got Iloprost drip for 5 days which worked for 6 weeks, then Adalat 5, then Adalat 20 and now my Rheumatologist says he is running out of things to try. But now my blood pressure is very high and nobody knows what to do.

Getting help from GP? - what questions to ask?

She is currently on Levothyroxine 100mg and Adalat 40mg. I'm going to try and persuade her to let me go in to her next appointment - what questions should I ask? Should I ask about 'Armour' medication - does anyone have any experience of this medication, and would it work for my mum?

My racing heart saga.

.😭 He wants to see what's going on.He also said the adalat I take for Raynaud's can sometimes raise the heart rate so I asked should I stop taking it just in case and he said no way.He said might not be pots but wants to check things out so hopefully will get to the bottom of this as it's going on too
