Question : I am trying to find out the use of medications given to my elderly father inlaw.
eg. Creon 25,000 EC capsules
Isosorbide Mononitrate SR 60mg
Ramipril Capsules 2.5mg
Sinemet 250/25 mg
Sertraline 50mg
I am concerned with the amount of medications he is taking. He has been diagnosed with Parkinsons
a few years back. Looking forward to some advice. XXXX
