Brief Answer:
It has negative affects on brain onclinical trials

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Normaxin is not studied extensively at this age group. So the behaviour of the drugs may be different than the average age that the drug is studied during the clinical trials. So it is very difficult to understand the pharmacodynamics of the drug in an 84 yr old. But since the cerebral atrophy, decline in psychomotor performance(brain command) are amongst the listed effects of Normaxin it may affect the brain function in the elderly even more severely.

Hope this answers you.
