Nifedipine, How Long Before Begins To Take Effect?

I have just been prescribed this for Raynauds. 5mgs 3 times a day. Any idea how long before they begin to take effect? Another sleepless night with the pain from blue fingers. Never known any pain like this. Can't even tie a shoelace. Wearing 2 gloves on the affected hand and a hot water bottle but doesn't seem to be helping. Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give.

Hello, Lisa! How are you doing? Has there been any change?

It may take 5 to 6 weeks, before this medication reaches its full level of effectiveness in your body. It's typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension, as reported by the FDA.

That's odd for Raynaud's, it usually affects both hands at the same time, or both feet.

Are you on any medications that might be contributing to this issue?

I have it, as well and I've discovered that when inside, ditching the gloves and just using the hot water bottle, or running my hands under hot water often helps.
