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.
My son aged 25 is treated severe head ache by a qualified MD and after a series of tests MRI,2d ECho etc. it is observed that there is a small area of T2 hyperintense signal in ventro medial part of right thalamus which shows bright signs on DWI and is isointense on ADC maps. Rest normal. He got discharged after a couple of days in hospital and surprisingly his headache never recurred ever since. He has been prescribed following medicins which he is takin for the past 3 months
Somozina ... 1 - o - 1 for 15 days only Aztor 40 mg (Atorvastatin) tabs daily one tab Sibellum 10 mg f1 tab daily for 2 months now tapered to 5mg 1 tab daily Clavix AS 75 - 1 Tab daily
Except Sr No.1, rest all other medicines he is still taking as per doctor's advise whom we visit once a month. He is ok now, no headaches at all, but he has put on considerable weight i.e 63.7 kilos on 25th January 2016 where as now he is 74.5 kilos Besides he feels very sleepy during morning. But rest of the day he is ok. His apetite has increased considerably and he has given up junk chinese food and has started eating home cooked food. This cud be the reason for his weight gain or cud it be the normal side effect of sibellum. I sincerely request you to advise me whether above line of treatment is in order. How long these medicines can be continued safely without severe side effwect. Thanks for your prompt advice. rgds/ NAYAK MUMBAI
