> okyHi Oky, No all is well today. All these BP fluctuations, then last few days, low BP but rapid pulse. I read about it and they make it sound like I'm headed for heart attack, when really just side effects of Nifedipine. Most don't take it daily so not problem.
Anyway, in researching that, I found that the tablets are NOT to be broken or crushed in any way. In fact, slow release in stomach I believe. Probably wouldn't do you much good in emergency. I'd get the capsules if I were you. Don't take them daily as they cause bunch of nasty sides!.
Actually, Oky, just spoke to my pharmacist as did not want to give out bad info, so here it is: According to him they don't prescribe the capsules that you bite into or prick with pin anymore. He siad even my capsules are made to swallow for fast delivery. Don't know why. He said may be other antidotes to put under tongue, but PDoc would know about that, one would hope!
Lets see what our Pdocs prescibe and share notes. I see mine on Monday. Thats when I'll know if I can even take Parnate anymore! If not, what has worked best for you after Parnate? (can't take ssri's).
Hope you are feeling well today! Jade
