Hello,

Anti-parkinsonism drugs may cause weakness. antihypertensive medication may also cause weakness. Please check for haemoglobin, serum electrolytes, thyroid status.

Use tablet Evion-lc twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

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

Take care

Regards,
