Expertise

I am happy to answer general questions on medicines and hospital care. If possible, please use approved / chemical names rather than brands which are not internationally recognised. Like all health professionals I am bound by a duty of care which prevents me giving detailed information about medication or treatment of people other than the questioner. I will endeavour to help wherever possible or point towards more appropriate advice. If however your question crosses too far into patient confidentiality, I hope you will understand why I cannot answer your question. Consider.. would you want me to discuss your care with a friend or relative without your knowledge?

2012-01-21 blood thinner interactions:

Dorothy I don't see any problem with taking Lortab as pain relief, especially to help sleep. I'm assuming your husband will only be receiving Lovenox for a short time, but may continue the Warfarin

2012-01-20 supplement:

Alen I'm not familiar with the product Spirulina as it is not marketed in the UK. However, following some investigation there does seem to be some credibility to its use. My concern would be that

2012-01-15 amlodipine:

Howard Amlodipine can cause drowsiness itself, and this can be enhanced by fatique which can be possible side effects of both losartan and metoprolol. Citalopram and Xanax can also cause drowsiness
