Zusammenfassung: | Ultrasonography of the abdomen was normal. Because of the extensive nature of the disease, surgery or any destructive therapy was avoided and to provide symptomatic relief, the patient was initially treated with 10 mg nifedipine twice daily for 1 week. [6] Amlodipine may act through similar mechanism of action, but it has lesser incidence of side effects like headache, and flushing than nifedipine.
