Is amlodipine the superior medication for vasospastic angina to verapamil? it sounds like it would be... (sounds very effective for migraine aspect 2)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amlodipine: Amlodipine is an effective agent for vasospastic angina as well as migraine prevention. I am not aware of studies comparing it's effectiveness with verapamil. Verapamil has been around longer than amlodipine and has been used for both indications successfully.
