Should I Change The Medicine After Experiencing Weakness And Imbalance?

Doctor suggested my father, age 82, tablet Levilip 500 (1/2 Morning and 1/2 Evening) for a fit (very occessional). But they feel weakness and Imbalance. In 2005 to 2007 Doctor advice them for Eptoin. I think this tablet is more suitable for them. Should I ask doctor to change the medicine

Hi,

He seems to be experiencing from the undesired side effects of Levipil. You may ask his treating doctor for an effective alternate drug like Eptoin or dose adjustment of Levipil to overcome these side effects. Hope this will work and avoid the side effects.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
