Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Dipping Snuff Be Allowed For Old Woman With Pacemake And On Vicodin?
My 93 year old mother in law has a pacemaker and is on several heart medicines. She is also taking vicodin for a recent fall. She has been off of dipping snuff for three months now (since her fall). My sister in law wants her to start back because she has been acting mean lately . Her mind is not very good. Do you think I should let my sister in law start her mother back on dipping snuff. (My mother in law lives with us.) I don't think it is a very good idea.
Dipping snuff is not good for the heart and blood vessels. However at the age of 93 if the snuff gives her pleasure the family could decide just to let her use it.
