Hi,
My Grandmother who is 86 and has Heart Disease and Angina hasn't been taking one of her heart medications for the last 4 weeks. I only found out last night when I was checking what medications she was running out of so I could order a repeat prescription.
She is taking Isosorbide Monitrate and Dilitiazem for her heart. Dilitiazem she has not taken in 3-4 weeks. I usually sort her medication out but I've been ill with Bronchitis so my Mum took over but somehow forgot to give Gran the Dilitiazem tablets.
I would appreciate any advice as I don't know whether this could do any harm to Gran.
She has been experiencing chest pain for a few weeks (now I know why) and GP gave her two courses or Amoxicillin because she thought Gran had a chest infection due to her wheezing and coughing. Can missing this pill cause her to cough a lot?
Thank you
