Alzil 23Mg Tablet Sr Health Feed

Asked for female, 61 years old from Kolkata

My mother, 62 years of age has been suffering from dementia and depression since 2016. She was prescribed dveniz, daxid for depression and admenta (bds), aricep (ods) for dementia since september, 2016. The disease has progressed albeit slowly. But there had been behavioral changes specially repetitive behaviour, frequent fits of aggression etc. Because of the increased aggressive tendencies, her doctor asked to stop antidepressants in january 2020. aggressive behavior dwindled down after that. However it increased a bit since december 2020. Due to unavailability of the previous psychiatrist we had to consult a separate psychiatrist in february, 2021. He started a new drug, olanzapine 2.5 (ods). My mother started taking the drug since february 10th. However she started getting quite drowsy from the middle of march. So we had to visit the doctor on march 26th. He asked to stop olanzapine 2.5 and continue with aricep and admenta. She was more or less fine till last tuesday, 6th april. But suddenly from 7th april there was a total change in everything. It's almost like she's spellbound! totally lost and not being able to do basic daily activities. It's almost like her brain has been switched off. She's walking slowly, not being able to eat/ drink on her own. And since yesterday she's having trouble using the toilet too. Not being able to pass urine or stools. Is this because of the drug olanzapine? If so, then can some other drug be used to negate these side effects of olanzapine?

It is sad to convey but symptoms you suggested are of disease progression and not because of side effects of on going medications.

Hello,
these medicines make a person inactive and drowsy but does not cure dementia.
I would suggest you to start with homoeopathic treatment as many patients suffering from psychological and psyciatric diseases are benefitted from the same.

Dear Manjeet,
It is really pathetic to see your father suffering like this.
However your doctor seems to be trying few medicines to make him peaceful and sleep better. Be patient and wait for the drugs to work.
Since he is already dementing, he does not need much sleep. As age advances, one needs less time for sleep.
A bright light like day time and warmth will help sometimes - worth trying.

Dear Tapas,
When did you meet your doctor last? After taking these medicines did you consult her/him? These tablets take 2-3 weeks to start their action. If you follow up with the doctor, she/he will adjust the dose or add therapy.

Asked for male, 33 years old from Midnapore

Hello Doctor, My father aged 80 years old, had a mild stroke a year ago, fell today morning in floor. That hurt in forehead and around eye. Some blood went away from the forehead injury. The area is swollen a bit. And around the eye, a black mark is created as the blood clots around the eye. As my father taking aciloc-rd, donep-5, ecosprin-av (75/20) and syndopa-110 since last couple of months. But after the injury, our local doctor prescribed amoxyclav-625, chymotas-40 along with tet-vac. But I have some confusion, are this medicine safe to take with existing neuro medicine. I have asked to our local doctor and he responded it is safe. But I need second opinion before giving the medicine to my father. Please do not mind, it might possible, doctor was absent minded at the time of response. I always double check those decision. Please reply.

As you mentioned your father is taking ecosprin, it is highly recommended to get his imaging by ct scan or mri.
The medicines are safe but you need to check whether they are required or not.
Antibiotics are only required if there is obvious cut or open wound is present. I recommend for clinical examination of the patient.

Your father seems to be in quite advanced stage of the disease. In this stage neuro-rehabilitation is very much warranted. If he has any mood issues, those need to be addressed. Kindly consult a good neuro-rehabilitation physician. At i-nk we have a good neuro-rehabilitation department.

Medications can only stimulate the neurotransmitters, they work for some and do not for others. Especially for those recovering from post traumatic sequelae, it is not easy. Keep trying various options. Good luck.
