Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi. My mom just recently had a heart attack. I decided that i am going to go ahead and take over her medication administration. She had been prescribed...100 mg/zoloft, 25 mg/elavil, and 150 mg/twice daily/Bupropion. Something just doesnt seem right to me with all that. There are other issues that I have with her medication right now, but hey...Im no DR.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Are you sure these are the medications prescribed by the doctor for his myocardial infarction or Is he suffering from any mental health issues because all of these drugs are antidepressants?
The treatment of Myocardial infarction include: 1. Aspirin and Clopidogrel (ascard) drugs 2. Statins 3. Beta blockers
Please stop your dad's drugs as soon as possible as it looks like he is prescribing himself these drugs and go see a physician as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Muhammad Adnan Iqbal
