Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am fostering a nine year old child who suffered 6% burns to her right torso in April . I am concerned about the amount of medication that she is taking on a regular basis . Ucerax - 10mg strup , 7.5ml at bedtime Gabapentin 50mg oral solution 2.8ml three times a day Cetirizine Hydrochloride 5mg, 2.5ml three times a day . her GP advised stopping the midday medication and this hasn't resulted in any itching , distress etc . Medicines prescribed by burns unit but don't seem to be reviewed , particularly concerned about Ucerax . are these drugs habit forming , will she develop a dependency , any advice please
