What Is Raynaud's Syndrome?
8. What Are the Medical Treatment Options for Raynaud’s?
Certain medications can make Raynaud’s symptoms worse. These include birth control and migraine medicines as well as beta-blockers, some cold medications and estrogen-based drugs. Alternatives to using these types of medications are desirable when possible.
For people who have severe, frequent or long-lasting vasospasms, the doctor may prescribe a drug that helps with circulation by relaxing and expanding the blood vessels. The possibilities include antidepressants, antihypertension and erectile dysfunction medications.
