Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Stugeron contains the active ingredient cinnarizine, which is a type of antihistamine. It is used for treating motion sickness and symptoms of inner ear disorders causing vertigo.
Nexito contains Escitalopram, which is a SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). It is commonly prescribed for clinical depression, anxiety and panic disorders.
Nortimer contains Nortriptyline, which is a antidepressant, prescribed for treatment of depression.
For the problems she is having, the prescribed drugs should help her to overcome them. Kindly take the medications and do the follow-up as advised.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
