Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that both maxgalin and gabapin are two antiepileptic drugs very effective in chronic pain.
You should know that the burning sensation in her legs seems to be related to a chronic nerve damage, possible polyneuropathy.
So her actual therapy seems to be OK. The only thing to do is wait, because it may take some weeks for this therapy to show its effects. Besides, I would recommend increasing the dose of gabapin up to 1800mg daily, depending on her clinical situation and tolerance if her pain doesn't improve.
Regarding her antihypertesive therapy, I would recommend you to closely monitor her blood pressure different times during the day (in sitting position after 10minutes of total relax) and refer those values to her attending physician. If her blood pressure values are above 130/85mm Hg, I would recommend discussing with him the possibility of making some changes to her therapy (increase the doses or add other antihypertensive drugs).
Vibrox is an antibiotic, which is used against infection. It is not related to her actual symtomatology.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes!
