Question

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 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.

Question

My grandmother is 72 and she's been dealing with a cold, fever, and a really runny nose. Is it safe for her to take Allercet Cold for these symptoms? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay for her age. What do you think?
