What Causes Dizziness While On Simvastatin, Donepezil And Losartan?

I am trying to figure out the best times for my Mom to take her medications. Most of them make her dizzy, so I tried to space them out with 1/2 otc meclizine to help with the dizziness. Her blood work came back good, it only showed a little bit of a higher cholestrol than normal, so the doctor is putting her on a drug for that. I try to have her take her pills three times a day, but with the new cholestrol med I think we have to go with four times a day. Here is the list, can you help me figure out what times she should take what? Also, when should I incorporate the meclizine? 2000 mg otc Vitamin D 20 mg of Simvastatin - supposed to be taken with dinner 50 mg otc Citrucel 25 mg Chlorthalidone 100 mg Losartan 81 mg Aspirin 10 mg Donepezil - supposed to be taken after dinner Thank you!

Hi,

She can use the drugs at the following times.
Simvastin at night. Listen at night (as this may cause dizziness in the morning) and Chlorthalidine better be taken in the morning.
As this may cause her urinary urgency at night. It can cause sleep disturbance as well.

Asprin any time, better at night. Donpezil after breakfast. Check her BP, as dizziness may be caused by too much dropping of the BP, as she is taking double anti-hypertensive drugs.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
