Thanks for reverting back
1. As I usually prescribe (if needed) tryptomer only at bed time so cannot comment upon the dosage schedule of other doctor.
2. Kanchnar gugullu should be given along with Chandraprabha vati and yograj gugull and not in single formulation.
3. Since it is very difficult to comment on drug drug interactions (if any) without any clinical trials/research studies thus do not change/taper or stop any drug without first consulting your attending Physician
