nifedipine and Dermatoses

nifedipine has been researched along with Dermatoses in 6 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Ten patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with diffuse systemic sclerosis (1 patient), the CREST syndrome (calcinosis cutis, Reynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyl, telangiectasia) (6 patients) and mixed connective tissue disease (3 patients) were studied to assess the effect of oral nifedipine on pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics."7.68Acute and long-term effects of nifedipine on pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with diffuse systemic sclerosis, the CREST syndrome and mixed connective tissue disease. ( Alpert, MA; Lambert, CR; Mukerji, B; Mukerji, V; Panayiotou, H; Pressly, TA; Sharp, GC, 1991)
" Most adverse events were mild or moderate and the investigators' overall evaluation of tolerability was excellent or good for 91% of patients."6.67A study of the efficacy and safety of amlodipine for the treatment of hypertension in general practice. ( Varrone, J, 1991)

" The reported adverse effect profile for each of these drugs varies, but tends to hold true to drug class and are typified by the adverse reactions reported for nifedipine and amlodipine (dihydropyridines), diltiazem (benzothiazepines) and verapamil (phenylalkylamines)."2.39A comparative review of the adverse effects of calcium antagonists.

"Sneddon's syndrome is a rare condition comprising widespread livedo retucularis and multiple episodes of transient cerebral ischemia."1.28Hemostatic abnormalities in Sneddon's syndrome. ( Kirby, JD; Kovacs, IB; Mayou, SC; Ridler, CD, 1992)
