Comment je traite ... un phénomène de Raynaud

Raynaud's phenomenon is a paroxysmal vasospasm affecting the extremities, particularly the fingers. The idiopathic type is the most frequently encountered and the secondary types have multiple origins. The mainstay of treatment relies on hygieno-dietetic measures. When they fail, calcium antagonists, sustained-release transdermal glyceryl trinitrate and a few other vasoactive drugs may prove to be effective. However, side effects may limit their prescription.
