Title: verapamil hydrochloride
Post by pajak on Mar 30^th, 2005, 8:42pm

Does this work with Sumitriptam? what are the side effects. I've got MS a well so I'm taking Beta Interferon. Is that safe?

Thank you very much for any help you can offer me [smiley=huh.gif].

Many of us use verapamil as a preventative. It should be fine with the triptans. Watch your blood pressure, it lowers it. I have no clue about interactions with Interferon. You should definitely talk to your dr or pharmacist about that. Pain free wishes, nani

Thanks for getting back in touch so quickly. I'll check with my doctor. I should go to bed now (3am) but I'm afraid the headache will come back!

Also, check into the OUCH UK site. They have a hotline you can call and talk to a clusterhead to get information more attuned to your location.
