Thanks for the replies!

Melissa, I checked your BMT thread. You were given Amlodipine, which is the same as the Norvasc that triumphe64 mentions. That sounds like the drug of choice. Good to know.

Marlene, I'll ask his doctor about the magnesium connection. It was normal a few years ago when they checked it, but I don't know if he's been tested since then. Probably not. Something else to consider.

Of course I'd be very happy if he could lower his cyclo intake without relapsing, but it's good to know there may be other options.
