Dear friend... greetings from HCM... i appreciate your interest in knowing the reasons for medications prescribed for you .... here are your medications and reasons ...oxycodone and oxycontin are norcotic pain killers, even meloxicam is used to reduce the inflammation/swelling after surgery.. metformin is for impaired glucose levels ... simvastatin is to reduce the cholesterol levels to be taken in the night after food... pantoprazole for prevention of gastritis ... lisinopril and amlodipine are for high blood pressure .. do take good amount of milk and calcium rich food stuffs .. like ragi... do go for physiotherapy regularly and take care of your diet ...
