General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Yes, she is on too many drugs. While few are necessary, the other drugs may be stopped if not needed. The blood pressure medicine, and thyroxine, and pravastatin are important.

However, you may discuss the Cefdinir, Methylated, acyclovir. These may be stopped if not needed. Similarly, Carbamzapen is reduced if the pain of TN is not there.

Blood pressure drugs any Also are available in single combination pill hence reducing her drugs. So discuss the same with her doctor if it was possible to reduce her drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
