Psoriasis & Norvasc

[Blakely]

Does anyone know if Norvasc (for high blood pressure) has any adverse effects on psoriasis? My partner has recently been perscribed Norvasc (just today) & she suffers from psoriasis on her legs, back, arms, etc. (thankfully not her face).

I am worried that Norvasc will cause an outbreak. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Blakely, Everyone is different but I could not take Norvasc, it caused a flare. I knew within days that it was flaring me. The good news is after I stopped it the flare went away. I had to try several drugs before I found one that worked and didn't effect my P. I settled on Benicar. Linda

Thanks Linda, I'll keep Benicar in mind just in case. Wish us luck!! Blakely
