I'm really concerned about my mom who's dealing with a lot of health issues like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease. Her doctor has prescribed quite a few meds like Dytor, Monit GTN, Orfer XT, Planep, Cardace, Rosucor, Ecosprin, Pantocid, and even insulin and the duolin inhaler. Now, she's been given tryptomer 10 mg, and I'm worried about whether it's really safe for someone with heart failure to take this. Can you help shed some light on this for me?

yes tryptomer should not be taken since the medicine is contra-indicated.Kindly stop tab tryptomer tablet is advised.
