HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Looking to the age of patient, the multi-system organ failure would start, and no one can stop this, giving medicine at this stage may jeopardies the condition, if patient does not have any major pathological condition then no need to give any medicine, and if has a major pathological condition then it has to be treated according to the age and taking the rate absorption of drugs into the consideration because of the age, this advise may looks very awkward but this is truth also, have nice day.
