Question Hi! My mother, age 54, is on the following meds for various conditions. Would you review the following list & tell me of any interactions to watch out for? (I'm particularly concerned about warfarin interactions.)
Answer Hi Shanon,
When I see such a long list, the first thng that come to my mind is that she is being over medicated. Let me segregate her medication. She appears to have hypertension hence metoprolol, bumetanide, amlodipine. She also has high cholesterol hence simvastatin, aspirin to prevent risk of embolism. She seems to have depression hence paroxetine, thyroid problem hence Levothyroxine, She may have had some cloting disorder hence warfarin. I mean she is being treated for different symptoms without deep thught on her main problems.
I would need more details on her health status before I can comment anything.
