Experiences with

Adalat LA

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).

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?

Seeing that Adalat is scarse I am taking 30 MG of. Corall.

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.

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

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?

Have 4 or 5 digital ulcers similar to very small razor blade cuts each winter.Am on adalat 30 in winter and 20 rest of year.

Can’t get Adalat retard is any one els having a problem

Advised by a different doctor to go back on adalat - so any advise, views much appreciated ❤️ ty

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.

I have been taking Adalat Retard for my Raynauds for about 2years with no side effects.

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.

Have received letter from my rheumatologist stating how my thermography showed significant peripheral vasospasm which is consistent with a diagnosis of primary raynauds.She has listed a few medicines if I want to try 1st is Adalat xl at 20 mg a day,or losartan at 25mg or fluoxetine at 20 mg daily.

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.

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?

I have been prescribed Adalat Retard by my GP. Recently my symptoms have gotten worse, both my feet are affected as are both hands.

.😭 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

I have been prescribed Evacal, Adalat, Codeine Phosphate, Omeprazole, Pregabalin, & yesterday started on Mycophenolate. My lungs are now scarred, I get short of breath & I still in pain with my Raynaurds affecting my hands & fingers ankles.

I'm on Adalat Retard for Raynaud's should I be on any other meds ? TIA
