Increased whole blood platelet aggregation in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon with or without systemic sclerosis. In animal studies it has also been shown to alter prostaglandin production with disproportionate increases in thromboxane in rabbit endothelium resulting in vasospasm, platelet activation and thrombus formation 62, 63, although in some cases cocaine vasculopathy is more likely to be related to a Buergerlike syndrome 64, 65, 66 as described with cannabis use or arsenic exposure 67, 68, 69. Irbesartan blocks the vasoconstrictive and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II at the tissue receptor site In addition, it does not affect the response to bradykinin and is less likely to be associated with cough and angioedema.

It is interesting to note that bleomycin is used to induce a sclerodermic phenotype in animals 102, scleroderma being the main aetiology of secondary RP. Recent data suggest a possible involvement of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), through an unknown mechanism. , [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. 31 Nevertheless, a large casecontrol study (542 cases and 2155 controls) did not support the association between dopamine agonists and an increased risk of ischaemic events requiring hospitalization 35. 375 (6):556-65. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Central stimulation of the dopaminergic and noradrenergic system is responsible for the peripheral release of catecholamines leading to vasoconstriction. Silent alpha(2C)-adrenergic receptors enable cold-induced vasoconstriction in cutaneous arteries. Occasionally, other acral parts (eg, nose, tongue) are affected. [QxMD MEDLINE Link].

This probably contributes to the underestimation of druginduced RP, as well as the fact that RP is a usually benign condition. Phosphodiesterases are a complex group of enzymes that help to tightly regulate the degradation of intracellular cyclic nucleotides. None is currently approved for this indication by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Intracellular responses to both NO and prostacyclin are mediated by the cyclic nucleotides cGMP and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), respectively.

Our objective was therefore to review available evidence about this adverse drug effect and to propose a mechanistic approach of druginduced RP. In a healthy vascular bed it has been proposed that blocking serotonin reuptake could increase free plasma serotonin concentrations and produce, in stasis conditions, a local accumulation of serotonin, exacerbating vasoconstriction through 5HT2 receptors that may worsen RP 44. Botulinum toxin A in the treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon: a systematic review. None is currently approved for this indication by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).. Treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon with escitalopram Int J Neuropsychopharmacol. [Full Text]. On the other hand, exactly the opposite reaction has been described with other TKIs. Like chemotherapy agents, beta-blockers have long been associated with Raynaud's because they slow heart rate and lower blood pressure, the researchers noted. The dopamine receptor D2 agonist bromocriptine inhibits glucosestimulated insulin secretion by direct activation of the alpha2adrenergic receptors in beta cells. Its mechanism of action is thought to be potentiation of serotonergic activity in the CNS, resulting from inhibition of CNS neuronal reuptake of serotonin. Cocaine and Buerger disease: is there a pathogenetic association? Cracowski, J. Our objective in the present work was therefore to summarize available evidence and to propose a mechanistic approach of druginduced RP.

Iloprost is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2 [PGI2]) that dilates systemic and pulmonary arterial vascular beds. 92(7):1166-80. Fluoxetine selectively inhibits presynaptic serotonin reuptake with minimal or no effect in the reuptake of norepinephrine or dopamine. More recent research has shown promise in using ED drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra), and talkalafil (Cialis) in treating Raynaud's symptoms, particularly when traditional treatments such as vasodilators and topical nitroglycerine-based creams provide insufficient relief or aren't well tolerated.

Serotonin reuptake inhibitors, Raynaud's phenomenon and erythromelalgia, Treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon with escitalopram, Int J Neuropsychopharmacol Off Sci J Coll Int Neuropsychopharmacol CINP. Escitalopram is an SSRI and an S-enantiomer of citalopram. It displaces angiotensin II from AT1 receptors and may lower blood pressure by antagonizing AT1-induced vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, catecholamine release, arginine vasopressin release, water intake, and hypertrophic responses. Thirteen percent of patients still suffered from RP 10 years after having received a cumulative bleomycin dose of <180000IU (corresponding approximately to three cycles of cisplatinetoposidebleomycin), 24.6% after a cumulative dose of 180 000 IU to 360 000IU, and 29% after a cumulative dose >360 000 IU.
