How Can Medicines Be Balanced To Reduce Nausea, Sleepiness, And Pain?

Hello, I m calling about my mom. She is taking leflunomide - recent new medication - She is having much nausia and sleeping most of the day. She has extreme RA. She is also taking prednisone, and Tramadol for pain. She is 82. She takes a blood thinner also but am unsure which one. Is there a better way to balance her meds in order to minimize her symptoms of nausia/sleepiness/pain? Thank you, Glenda Drennan YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you for the attitude.

I have similar case with a patient who has nauseas to these drugs,
i suggest them to take prednisone at 7 AM then 3 hours later he will take leflunomide, by night he can take the Tramadol.

You can talk to your medic in order to clear out where the blood thinner may go.

Hope this helps.
