He has just reintroduced 40 mg. Of Atorvastatin ( he s has been on cholesterol lowering med, niacin and Welchol also for 50 yrs.; also diltazam 180 mg. For afib; Namenda for dementia ( also had been on Exelon, but was taken off 2 was. Permanently); omprezole and Florastor ; baby aspirin ; vitamins. He is now on the Atorvastatin, aspirin,diltazam, Tagamet and zofran and the Dr. plans to check his Cholesteral in 2 mo.( he has familio hypercholestemia). The problem is none of what s being done has helped, he s been up and down and today the zofran isn t helping. He s is miserable and doesn t feel like eating. What can I do? Carol O.

Hi,

Most probably it will be due to severe gastric reflux due to multiple drug intake.

As a first line management, you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
