Could I Avoid Taking Cardura Which Is Causing Hiccups Having A Stable Health?

Thank you so much! My husband takes Cardura ,together with regular supplements like vitamins and calcium, but he gets nasty hick-ups and we stopped Cardura and ,indeed, he has no hick-ups, even though the dosage of Cardura is only 2 milligram. My husband is 80 years old and is actually in stable health ,after stenting ten years ago with drug-coated stents and he exercises every day, but we eat normal ...two fried eggs in the morning and fish and vegetables at lunch and fruits in the morning.Some kefir at night.That is it.No alcohol, no deserts ,no salt ,no sugar...Is it okay to suspend Cardura/ Thanking you, Carla

hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

hiccups occur due to gastric irritability and I think ur husband is using Cardura for BPH. If he is getting certain side effect with cardura, then there is nothing harm in avoiding that drug. U can consult with his urologist to prescribe him another drug like prazocin etc.

Thanks
