I'm wondering if my mom can take calcium tablets every day, like one or two. Are there any side effects we should be aware of? Also, could you suggest any particular brand of calcium tablets that you trust?

Question

My dad has been taking revital capsules for the past three months. I'm wondering if he should keep taking them or maybe stop for a little while? Could you tell me how long he should take them if he continues, or how long the gap should be if he should pause?

Question

I'm worried about my family member who's been on a bunch of medications like cidmus 100, cardivas 3.125, nexito 5, clopitab cv 7510, and eptus 25. He's been taking them since February 2020, but lately, he's been really confused and shaky, almost like he can't keep his balance. Could this be because of the nexito 5? And do you think it's okay to stop the anti-agitation medication now? I'm just concerned because if his agitation comes back, can we start the medication again? Would love some guidance on this situation.
