Glad to be back

Dear friends. I have been absent for about 4 or 5 months, right since the covid shutdown was enforced in Italy, because of various problems with my computer. I hope all is well with you and your families. My previous knick name was svanseghe 57. I have now reverted to the one I had when I

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. The only

Feel like a fraud!

I've been restoring an old cottage and enjoying the process. About 18 months ago I noticed I was getting tired more and more easily, then I started getting minor chest-pains during some of the more physical activities such as carrying heavy materials etc. They were always minor. They always passed quickly

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.

Hi new to af

Hi I’m 48 had a chest infection/asthma was in hospital 10 days as heart rate was high and was told it may go away but looks like it hasn’t, my mum had it same age then went on to have a massive stroke so as you can imagine I’m scared. Although I’ve been reassured medicine has come a long way since

Once daily Zemtard 120 instead of Bisoprolol

Hi everyone ... Last week I promised to give an update on possible medication changes - ref ‘Bisoprolol &my Psoriasis flare up’ . As said before I have AF and been taking Bisoprolol since last autumn. Someone recommended to speak to my GP. Both the GP and Dermatologist have suggest to change to Diltiazem

Update on Nifedipine

Hi all, Thank you to everyone who responded to my previous post. 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

Adalat 20mg

Good afternoon, First time on this site and am asking a question on behalf of my husband if it is alright with all. 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

Uncontrolled AF

I was put on Rivaoxaban which is an anticoagulant last year for AF along with Zemtard. I had a routine blood test recently and because my FBC is way out and I probably have a serious bleed somewhere I now have to have an urgent colonoscopy. My GP has told me to stop taking Rivaoxaban immediately and

Long time since I posted.

Hi everyone. After being diagnosed exactly 2 years ago, following a few months of ups and downs my afib actually settled down. I was feeling really good, started pilates, walking and actually lost about a stone and a half. During the summer months I had a little blip when my blood pressure occasionally

Adalat 🤔

So I was on them for 8 months and no issues, was able to exercise and walk miles. Then developed headaches and doctor took me off them and said no one is on them now, there are better ones to take, was put on bisoprolol and can no longer take them. Advised by a different doctor to go back on adalat -

Drug availability

My GP surgery has put me on a substitute Adalat retard until they can get the original one again. Anyone else on it and how do you find it good or bad?. Would love your experiences. Hope your all as well as possible. Many thanks MistyX

Raynauds medication.

Hello, I hope this finds you all well. 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

Steroid injections or treatment assessment?

I wanted to have some thoughts from you lovely people on here. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with RA and have been having Mxt 15mg weekly since. My RA has greatly improved since the early days but I still have a lot of flares and can't do many of the things I used to enjoy. A year ago my rheumatologist
