Thank you so much for this additional info! Sounds like you had nifedipine only and it was prepared by a compounding pharmacy (mixed to order) vs. pre-packaged and sold by a non-compounding pharmacy (Walgreens, CVS, etc.). Mine is also compounded with the two additional components (hydrocortisone 2.5%, lidocaine 5%). The concentration of nifedipine in mine is the same as yours (0.2%). It's so encouraging that you had success. I'll call my physician's office w/an update next week and perhaps that will result in some adjustments based on my symptoms. Take care and thank you again.

@ruth2019 your compound sounds good. You have the same concentration of Nifedipine and since that is the main ingredient it should work okay. The other two ingredients seem like they are to ease pain. The compound may be more effective if you applied it internally. I applied internally and externally, even though instructions were to apply internally.
