Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The dose of the medicine may have to be reduced
The timings may have to be distributed…
At times, contributing causes like kidney damage or heart ischemia, hormones… may need to be evaluated
Diagnosis demands examination; probably investigation too
GET him EXAMINED by his doctor

Good luck
God bless you
