AskDocWeb: Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is a peripheral circulatory disorder characterized by sudden episodes of digital artery spasm, often set off by cold temperature or emotional stress. Although the cause of RP is not fully known, it appears to involve inappropriate adrenergic response to cold stimuli. Treatment of RP includes the use of agents that promote digital vasodilation. The calcium-channel antagonists are the most thoroughly studied class of drugs for the treatment of RP. Approximately two thirds of patients respond favorably, with significant reductions in the frequency and severity of vasospastic attacks. Nifedipine use is often limited by the appearance of adverse vasodilatory effects such as headache or peripheral edema. The newer second-generation dihydropyridines such as isradipine, amlodipine, nicardipine, and felodipine also appear to be effective in patients with RP and may be associated with fewer adverse effects.

Subj: Concern about the effect
Date: 1/8/2009
I start taking 15 mg, almost 4 weeks ago. I have lost only 5 pds, and I am a little concern about the effect of the medication. My blood pressure is OK, I have dry mouth and some joint pain… Please advise, if I should continue, if I lost only 5 pds. in 4 weeks, or I should stop? Also, when is recommended to take the medication: in the morning on the empty stomach, or after eating something light? Your reply will be greatly appreciated.

Elisabeth

AskDocWeb: Sorry Elisabeth, if you don’t tell us the name of the medication, we can’t help you.

Tonya

Subj: Product not successful
Date: 7/20/2009
I bought two bottles, one for myself and another for my daughter. The product, not successful for my daughter or myself. May I recover any of my money for these products?

Gloria

AskDocWeb: If the product you bought was a prescription drug, there is no possibility of a refund. If you purchased a supplement, you may be able to return the bottles, both empty and unused, for a refund. To find out if you can do that or not you would have to read the return policy of the business that sold it to you. What product did you purchase?

Subj: Sample kit?

Subj: Pin worms
Date: 9/16/2009
How do you get rid of pin worms that you have had for over 10 years?

Pin Worms

AskDocWeb: That sounds like a lot of suffering for something so easily treated. Both over-the-counter and prescription medications are available to treat pinworms. They come in liquid, chewable tablet, and pill forms. It is important to note that pinworm medication does not kill pinworm eggs. Because of this, it is usually suggested that people with symptoms get a second treatment 2 weeks after the first treatment to kill any new worms that may have hatched from eggs during that time. If you can’t afford a visit to a doctor, just ask a pharmacist to recommend an over-the-counter product.

Subj: Natural alternative for Synthroid?
Date: 10/5/2009
Synthroid Is there any natural hormone replacement for thyroid? My thyroid was removed one month ago due to thyroid cancer. Synthroid is giving me too much side effects such as headache, joint pains, blurry vision. Please help

Millie

AskDocWeb: The University of Maryland Medical Center recommends several natural supplements to improve the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Vitamins A, B-complex, C and E, magnesium, calcium, zinc, selenium, omega-3 fatty acids, alpha-lipoic acid and L-tyrosine are recommended. Herbal supplements include bladderwrack, Green Tea, coleus and guggul. If you can find a health care provider that is educated in natural alternatives they can determine what will work best for you.

Subj: Questions
