My grand father is age 75. Patient history, 3 yrs back suffered minor stroke and was medicine as usual then one back he suffered epileptic seizures and doctor prescribed him eption 100 twice a day. He was taking previously for memory loss remlylin D as a supplement for brain. But as a side effect he developed skin rashes and serious itching after that I consulted dermatologist he advised me to stop eption and change it with the alternative medicine. I consulted neurologist and he changed eption with levesam 500 twice a day.besides these medicines he is also taking ramistar. 2.5, cadivas. 3.125, and aldactone 50. Please comment, is medicine change good? Can it bring relief from itching to the patient? Accept my gratitude in advance.
