I checked the pill markings and o.k., the VA was the source, they
switched from Adalat to the generic. Since the VA
no longer uses Adalat I am working with Doc on another approach.
(switched back to Adalat this am, one hour after taking
bp 134-82) Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I would call your doc and the VA pharmacist and tell them what happened. If
this happened to you, how many vets did this happen to who don't check their
blood pressure regularly?

Also, go to fda.gov and report this.

Also, call your local Walmart and see how much the drug is. It may be cheep
enough (like under $10) that you won't care about the money.

I emailed Mylan Labs early this am and a young lady called and I
reviewed the tests. She said the product was made by Pfizer and the
chemical structure was differnat then the Adalat product saying theirs
was same as Procardia. I've alerted the
various veterans sites re: checking and rechecking their BP if they
too had their meds. changed.
