Nifedipine relieves exercise-exacerbated myalgias
Muscle & Nerve
|October 1, 1984
Abstract:
Three women with exercise-exacerbated myalgias refractory to usual medications are described who responded favorably when the calcium channel blocker, nifedipine, was administered. The side effects were dose-related and prevented complete resolution of the symptoms. Three potential mechanisms of action are suggested for these effects.
