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?

I'm looking for some advice on treating bed sores, especially around the tailbone area. My loved one is unable to walk or stand, making it harder to care for her. Can you recommend any sprays that might help?

I recommend using a spray called "Prontosan Wound Irrigation Solution." This spray helps to cleanse the wound and promote healing. In addition to using the spray, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. Change the bedding frequently and use a special cushion or mattress to relieve pressure on the tail bone. Make sure to reposition the patient regularly to prevent further pressure on the affected area. If the bed sore is severe, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
