Does Procardia Cause Leg Cramps And Stomach Cramps?
My husband is on Peritoneal dialysis with hypertension. He was put on procardia xl about a month ago with 30 mg and then increased to 90 mg. He is not feeling well after he started on this medicine. In th e beginning he started having increased short of breath which doctor thought he needs to increased the dose of dialysis to remove fluid. Now he is having severe leg cramps and knees pain and also severe stomach pain with bloody stools. Could this be the side effects of Procardia xl ?
