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?

View allI'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.
The medications your friend is taking include: - Cidmus 100 (Cilnidipine) - dosage not mentioned - Cardivas 3.125 (Carvedilol) - 3.125 mg - Nexito 5 (Escitalopram) - 5 mg - Clopitab CV 7510 (Clopidogrel and Atorvastatin) - 75 mg10 mg - Eptus 25 (Eplerenone) - 25 mg The symptoms of confusion, lack of coordination, and balance issues could be related to the medication Nexito 5 (Escitalopram), which is commonly used to treat anxiety and depression. It is possible that these symptoms are side effects of the medication. It is not recommended to stop any medication without consulting a healthcare professional. If your friend is experiencing agitation, it is important to discuss this with a doctor before making any changes to the medication regimen. They can provide guidance on whether the Nexito 5 can be adjusted or discontinued safely. Please consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management of these symptoms.
