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 Sizodon Plus Cause Face Blindness And Drowsiness?
My mother is 96 years. recently during nights she started seeing imaginary things and started loud shouting entire night.Doctors say the hallucinations are due to dementia and gave sizodon plus.While shoutings have come down, she is drowsy entire day and unable to get out of bed.she is unable to recognise people.IS the medicine correct?
I am sorry to hear about your mother who has dementia and recent hallucinations. The hallucination and outbursts are very common in elderly persons with dementia and doctors frequently use medication called antipsychotics to reduce these symptoms. Your mother is taking risperidone and trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride which are two very powerful medications. If she is now too drowsy and unable to function then the amount is too much. I would recommend reducing the amount of medication. Please have your doctor either reduce the dose or change it all together.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again for you questions
