My loved one had hip replacement surgery 20 days ago and now they're sleeping all the time with oxygen levels at 31 and pulse around 100. They're not eating anything either - should we be worried about these symptoms?

Post-hip surgery drowsiness and low oxygen need urgent attention‚Äîrule out infection, embolism, or drug overdose; shift to ICU if unstable.

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?

You should seek clarification from your prescribing doctor, because each type of Shelcal tablet has different contents.
