My 92 yr old father has been on copro for 3 days after tearing toenail off. He is feeling dizzy,not right in his head & feels like he is going to throw up all the time. He also can t eat because of this sick feeling. Could he be having a reaction to this drug? He is in congestive heart failure also with lots of melds but this is the new drug that has been added. He s on Tramadol for pain but is taking very rarely. Any suggestions? Cipro.
Hello, Most probably an acidity and gastritis. Do you also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, these are the other symptoms and may be associated?  You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or omeprazole risperidone combination before breakfast once a day for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add SYR sacral O or genus two teaspoon three times a day for a week.  Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
