[Treatment of Raynaud's syndrome with calcium entry blockers]. 1987

A B Shcherbakov, and N G Guseva, and E S Mach

The authors have presented the results of a 14-day open randomized trial of the efficacy of 3 calcium inlet blocking agents: nifedipine, verapamil and phendilin in 61 patients with Raynaud's syndrome. In the group of patients receiving 30-80 mg of nifedipine (20) there was a significant decrease in the frequency and expression of Raynaud's syndrome attacks, a positive effect of varying degree was noted in 19 patients. The drug raised slightly the skin and muscular blood flow and skin temperature. The use of 120-360 mg of verapamil in 21 patients caused no significant inhibition of Raynaud's syndrome and rise of hemocirculation. Phendilin (150-300 mg) though being comparable with nifedipine in efficacy, often produced side-effects resulting in the drug cancellation (8 out of 20). The efficacy of the calcium inlet blocking agents, especially nifedipine, for therapy of Raynaud's syndrome was emphasized.
