A member asked:
Is there a raynauds phenomenon treatment, and how long does it take?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The first step is to protect your hands from direct exposure to cold as much as possible. Certain types of meds known as calcium channel blockers are the next step. I prefer nifedipine. They work within.A week or two but it may take time to determine the best dose for you.

Keep warm and Ca++ : Calcium channel blockers are the most common medication that physicians use to treat the symptoms of raynauds. The medications work quickly. The main drawback is the side effects from these medicines. Keeping your hands and feet warm remains the best treatment.
