What Is The Cause Of Death After Taking Atabout And Zolfresh Tablets?

After taking epitril tab my husband went on deep sleep after a day of operation on his fractured left leg. Doctor gave tab atabout 2.30 pm. He went on deep sleep. Again at 8.30 they gave zolfresh tab though he was in sleep. Afterwords hedid not open his eys and next day evening he died. What is the cause. I think is it because of sedative.

Hi,

I appreciate your concern for your beloved husband who unfortunately passed away apparently due to sedative overdose.

Taking Zolfresh while already on Epitril may increase the side effects such as dizziness, confusion, profound sedation, very low blood pressure, respiratory depression, coma and death.

So, in view of the above, the cause of death appears to be taking two sedatives together.

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

Take care

Regards,
