In reply to nifedipine or Thorazine (chlorpromazine), posted by Caedmon on April 6, 2006, at 19:04:21
> My doc is going to give me Thorazine for hypertensive crisis too Maxime. I have heard conflicting information on nifedipine v. chlorpromazine.
Talked to the pharmacist today and answered my own question. Nifedipine works well to lower blood pressure, but Thorazine works better to calm you down. It's all kind of a question of what the doc is more familiar with, usually, and they both work. Since I will likely be prone to a lot of anxiety if I have a hypertensive crisis, I'm fine with my pdoc prescribing Thorazine.
