My dad, who's 73, just started taking Torkast FX along with some other meds for the past two days. We've kind of forgotten whether he should be taking it before or after eating. The prescription is all smudged, and we can't make it out. Could you help us figure out the right way to take this medicine?

Question

I'm trying to figure out which Shelcal tablet would be best for my 65-year-old mom. The doctor prescribed one Shelcal a day. There are a bunch of options out therelike Shelcal 500, Shelcal HD, Shelcal CT, Shelcal OS, ShelcalHD 12, Shelcal M, Shelcal 250 mg, and Shelcal K. It's a bit overwhelming, and I just want to make sure I pick the right one for her. Could you help me understand which one might be the most suitable?
