hi
thanks for using HCM.
as the drug contain opiod which cause constipation, in elderly this can lead to delirium : 'a condition characterised by confusion and disorientation'. you need to consult your doctor urgently and also need to do some investigations like serum electrolyte. hope it will help you.
