Constriction of small arteries causes fingers (or toes) to become pale or bluish, numb, and tingle
Typically, the slow-release or long-acting forms of CCBs are used
Amlodipine / therapeutic use* Double-Blind Method Female Humans Male Individual responses to the CCBs may vary
Since Raynaud's and glaucoma
A small double-blind, randomized, crossover study of udenafil vs amlodipine in the treatment of secondary Raynaud phenomenon showed that both medications
Raynaud’s (pronounced ray-nodes) syndrome is a disorder that affects small blood vessels in your fingers and toes
Vasodilating calcium channel blockers (eg, extended-release nifedipine 60 to 90 mg orally once a day, amlodipine 5 to 20 mg orally once a day, felodipine 2
Nifedipine dosage: Minimum 30 mg to maximum 180 mg daily
Amlodipine (Norvasc) is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and coronary artery disease
ALM with its longer half-life displays effective BP control over 24-h, thereby reducing the progression of end-stage-renal disease
Call a doctor or call 111 now if: you have stomach problems – severe pain in your
We report the case of an 18-year-old girl presenting with shock following ingestion of 85 mg of amlodipine and 850 mg of atenolol with suicidal intent
20 of the 24 patients enrolled (20 women and 4 men, mean age 45 years) completed the trial
Pressure on a major nerve to your hand can cause numbness, pain, and make you more sensitive to the cold
It happens because amlodipine dilates your blood vessels, which improves blood flow
These people tend to be female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months, also take medication Prednisone, and have Rheumatoid arthritis
1–1%
Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is highly prevalent in the general population (prevalence 3–21 % depending on the climate) [1]
If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly
Eventually the brain will be trained to perceive cold as less of a threat, which is exactly the issue occurring during Raynaud’s attacks: Frosties have an exaggerated response to cold and stress that mirrors the fight or rash
This happens mainly when you get cold, and it can also happen because of stressful situations
I called my Raynaud's symptoms "casket hands syndrome" until I was dx'd 2 years ago

Carpal tunnel syndrome or damage to the nerves in the hands, feet, arms, or legs can have Raynaud’s as a symptom
Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is an exaggeration of the normal physiological response to cold exposure or to emotional stress
This causes the affected area to change colour to white, then blue and then red, as the bloodflow returns
The signs and symptoms of Reynolds syndrome therefore include those of both PBC and LCSS
This leads to numbness, coldness, blueness in the fingers and toes
